 * Hi,
 * if I edit my shortcode to categories=”cat1,cat2″, the whole table disappers.
   
   If I just write cat1, cat1 is shown…
 * Also I checked it on a dev system, same problem.

 * Hi,
    first, make sure that your quote characters are not curly. Sometimes a copy-
   paste transforms a straight quote char into a curly.
 * Curly: `“`
 * Straight `"`

 * Hi,
    thats not the problem.
 * This works:
    `[ordertable show_categories="true" categories="montagematerial"]`
 * This not:
    `[ordertable show_categories="true" categories="montagematerial,zubehoer"]`
 * I checked your class-otfw-shortcode.php in line 92.
    The explode works as expected
   and give me an array with `0 = montagematerial` and `1 = zubehoer`

 * We have found a floor in the plugin that when a category is empty or having products
   of non-accepted type (like grouped), the table isn’t loaded.
 * Could this be the case?

 * Yes that’s it.
 * I have 6 products in the “zubehoer” category but if I search them in woocommerce,
   the category is empty.
    Don’t know why but yes thats the problem.
 * //EDIT:
    Found my probelm and it’s fixed now!
