 * I’ve been attempting to use the [post-list] shortcode with the category argument
   but when a category is entered it seems to be ignored and all categories are 
   listed.

 * Are you using this in a multisite environment, or just on a single WordPress 
   site?
    If you’re using multisite, are you trying to pull a list of posts from
   the same site, or are you trying to pull them from another site? What are you
   using to specify the category? Are you using the category name, the slug or the
   ID?

 * Having the same problem.
 * Appears that it doesn’t work when previewing, but does work when published.
