 * Sorry if this has been asked before, I have a Category called Cakes and I have
   put the following shortcode in my page:
 * [display-posts category=”Cakes”posts_per_page= “-1”]
 * It, however displays all the posts on the page not just the ones in the Cakes
   category.
 * What am I doing wrong please?
 * Thanks,
    Chris

 * You should try to put a space between “Cakes” and posts_per_page and also take
   the negative off your number (see below)
 * [display-posts category=”Cakes” posts_per_page= “1”]

 * posts_per_page= “1” only gives 1 post per page which is no good as I want all
   the posts in the cakes category having only 1 defeats the object. The -1 is from
   the documentation.
 * Putting the space in makes no difference.
 * I have solved it though, I have found a plugin to do this that actually works:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-posts-to-pages/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-posts-to-pages/)
 * This one works a dream, with more options too.
