 * The plug in looks to have a lot of promise and it works great when you add the
   shortcode to a page. Is the shortcode `[wp-portfolio]` designed to work in posts
   as well as pages? If so, when I try to use it in a post, I simply get the shortcode
   tag.

 * Hello,
 * Sorry for the delay in responding. WordPress no longer notifies us of new posts
   here.
 * It should work in posts or pages. Are you certain that there is no whitespace
   between the brackets and the text or the hyphen and the text?

 * No reply. Marking as resolved to avoid opening it up over-and-over again in the
   future.
