 * I ran into a problem this plugin was causing with one called [Post Types Order](http://www.nsp-code.com/wordpress-plugins/post-types-order/).
   The developer of that plugin spent some time looking into it and determined the
   cause. Here’s what they had to say:
 * > We checked into this and the issue appear to be an unexpected query return,
   > which expected to be as string but returned as array instead. Per WordPress
   > codex this behavior is expected when multiple post types are queried but not
   > one. The issue was produced by Display Posts Shortcode but we updated our code
   > to handle such situations. I’ve uploaded the last files to your server, everything
   > appear to work fine now.
 * Just thought you might like to know.

 * Is there any way you could have them provide any more guidance on what in Display
   Posts Shortcode resulted in the unexpected returned data?
