 * Hello, I seem to be having a major problem with the plugin. I set it up so it
   shows all the posts in the category zannounce. Within admin mode it shows the
   correct posts however, when i view my website it shows the odd random post. [http://blaydondistrict.org.uk/](http://blaydondistrict.org.uk/)
   any ideas what could be going on? I’m using the latest version of the plugin 
   btw.
 * My plugin ID. 9325

 * I am having this problem as well.
 * I have selected the slideshow to show the latest 5 articles witht he category
   Featured. This shows correctly in the admin panel, but when I go to my site there
   are articles from the Featured2 category as well.
 * It appears it is displaying the articles in order they were created.

 * Right I’ve fixed this now.
 * Before the update I had the shortcode [FrontpageSlideshow] inserted which worked
   fine, and as far as I understand updates the slideshow automatically if I make
   any changes to the setup.
 * I’ve had to put the complete shortcode in now and that works fine. But I’ll have
   to insert the new code everytime I make a change now, but luckily I don’t make
   that many changes.
