 * Hi,
    i am sorry, I have found several posts in the support area that deal with
   the category in the shortcode not working, but I still dont get it to work on
   my site. When I use the following shortcode, it still shows me all kind of categorys
   in the slider. What am I doing wrong?
 * [recent_post_carousel slides_to_show=”3″ slides_to_scroll=”1″ media_size=”medium”
   category=“16“ show_date=“false“ show_author=“false“ show_read_more=“false“ lazyload
   =“ondemand“]
 * Thank you

 * Sorry, but still the content word limit doesnt work. Still shows me more than
   35 words.
 * [recent_post_carousel slides_to_show=”3″ slides_to_scroll=”1″ media_size=”medium”
   category=”16″ show_date=”false” show_author=”false” show_read_more=”false” lazyload
   =”ondemand” show_category_name=”false” show_content=”true” content_words_limit
   =”1″ lazyload=”progessive”]

 * Hello,
 * We have checked this parameter our local server and it’s working perfectly so
   Please pass writes manually “content_words_limit” parameter (EX:- `[recent_post_carousel
   content_words_limit="1"]`).
 * If you like our Plugin Please Give You an important Rate and Review Here…
 * Thanks,

 * Thank you, but I am afraid the shortcode still doesnt work for me. Even if I 
   just use recent_post_carousel content_words_limit as in your example. Must be
   a problem with my theme I guess.
