 * To give a short timeline of how my error occurred:
    I have a plugin to help control
   the Check Out Widget with WPStoreCart (Widget Logic).
 * I simply went into the admin to adjust the pages it is displayed on.
 * Then I decided to go through the Store Settings to make sure it looked alright
   to me. The only thing I changed was added a page to house View Orders, and disabled
   the Add to Cart buttons to automatically redirect.
 * Now with a few standard settings changes, the store page is no longer displaying
   the categories to which the shortcode is telling them to (instead it is just 
   displaying all the products), and if you click on Checkout, the Checkout page
   is actually displaying all of the products… not showing any of the actual checkout
   fields.
 * As a quick fix, I’m using the widget’s checkout button as the Final Checkout,
   to bypass the checkout page all together.
 * It looks like the shortcodes aren’t working correctly and not pulling the right
   information.
 * I’m absolutely confused.. and any help is greatly appreciated.
 * If you have any other suggestions for a simple store solution that you can see
   would work for me.. that is even more appreciated.

 * When working with shortcodes, disable the WYSIWYG editor and then redo your shortcodes.
   It will then function correctly.

 * Yes, as jmerrit alluded, your shortcodes stopped functioning correctly because
   the WYSIWYG editor is stripping out your parameters, such as category id, etc.
   You need to disable the WYSIWYG editor when working with shortcodes, and anytime
   you will be saving a POST/PAGE that uses shortcodes.

 * Wow. That is a very good thing to know. Hah. I installed the WYSIWYG so others
   could easily update their site with updates. I had no idea it would affect short
   codes.
 * Thank you so much for helping!
