 * Is there a shortcode attribute or some other way to directly link to a specific
   category?

 * Link from where, the search results?
 * If so then add [this](https://gist.github.com/tijmensmit/ac9bd87062d60e1b3f48)
   code to the functions.php in your active theme folder. And copy the code from
   the usage section [here](https://wpstorelocator.co/document/wpsl_listing_template/),
   replace the ‘my_textinput’ with ‘terms’ and also place it in the functions.php
   in your active theme folder.
 * This will show the categories the location is assigned to with a link to the 
   specific category.

 * I think you answered this in another post… basically I want to be able to add
   something like: [wpsl category=”clubs”] and only show the clubs category.

 * The [wpsl] shortcode doesn’t support categories yet, but it will really soon (
   as in days ).
