# [Plugin: Display Posts Shortcode] Lists only most recent posts or nothing

 * I really want to list posts which are in category a and category b but can’t 
   get it to list anything correctly.
 * I seem to randomly just get either the few most recent posts, or absolutely nothing
   at all with no apparent reason for either.
 * Can you help please? Thanks.

 * I haven’t tried it so can’t confirm it works, but you might be able to do it 
   by using the + sign.
 * [display-posts category=”category-a+category-b”]
 * If that doesn’t work, then unfortunately this cannot be done with this plugin.
