 * I’m trying to use this plugin to have latest posts on my website.
    I’m using 
   the shortcode due to the setup of the site. I’m wanting to have specific numbers
   of posts from specific categories.
 * Ideally I’d like:
 * Title 1:
    4 posts from category 1
 * Title 2:
    5 posts from category 2
 * etc.
 * Just not sure how to adapt ‘[yd_list_posts]’ to get it working!
    Any help much
   appreciated!
