    Love this plugin, worked great. I had it up and running in less than 5 minutes. Great job.

    I would LOVE it if this plugin let us create several sets of these rotators (both on the same page as well as on different pages).

    For example, I have multiple bio pages for practitioners in a particular office. On each page, I want to rotate testimonials for that particular practitioner only.

    Right now this plugin only supports one rotating box across the entire website.

    In all your free time (just kidding) can you extend this?

    Another angle on this would be to add support for passing in a post category with the function call: rotating-posts(‘foo’). I actually tried modifying the plugin to do this, but even though my WP_Query() call included cat={$rp_use_this_category} with $rp_use_this_category set to different category names, it returned posts of all categories. I stopped there.

    Good idea. I have just added this feature to version 1.10.

    [rotating-posts category_name="mycat"]

    If your category name has a space then you need to use the slug. I.e., name=”my name with a space” and slug=”my-nice-slug” then your shortcode is:

    [rotating-posts category_name="my-nice-slug"]

    this plugin is SOOOO close to meeting all my needs, however, i need to put 2 instances within my THEME (can’t use shortcodes in editor). so i put these into my themes:
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[rotating-posts category_name="cat1"]'); ?>
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[rotating-posts category_name="cat2"]'); ?>
    and it looks great however when i click something using cat2 rotator, it controls the cat1 rotator.

    any way around this?

    This plugin does not support multiple instances on one page.
