 * Hello,
    I’m using (testing) the free version of this plugin to display some posts
   on my homepage. I try to use this shortcode: [recent_post_slider limit=”4″ design
   =”design-3″] or this: [recent_post_slider category=”xxx” design=”design-3″] or
   anything else, but the slider doesn’t work well. It show the slides (not ever),
   but doesn’t do as it is set.
 * In Post category i don’t see the label “[recent_post_slider category=”xxx”]” 
   shown in the documentation, but only “Category ID”. Could it conflict?
 * Tips?
