 * I tried to set parameters to my carousel, but they don’t seem to work.
 * [psac_post_slider show_author=”false” category=”novice”]
 * I’d like for the name of author to be hidden, and I’d like for only the posts
   from certain category named ”Novice” would show. Categories are shown above the
   titles in carousel.

 * Hi [@satanja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/satanja/)
 * Thanks for providing the shortcode and web page link.
 * There are two thing
 * 1) You have to pass category ID as a shortcode parameter.
 * 2) It looks like that there is a special character issue in shortcode. Generally
   this happens when we copy the shortcode and paste it into WordPress editor.
 * So double quotes are converted to special character. Please remove the double
   quote and add it manually.
 * Below is the correct shortcode. I have checked your webpage and found that “Novice”
   has a category ID 5.
 * You can find the category ID in the admin page URL when you edit it.
 * `[psac_post_slider show_author="false" category="5"]`
