Shortcode for a category doesn’t work

    Hello!
    I installed the plugin, added the general shortcode [shop-page-wp] to add products to my blog post and it worked great.
    Then I added new products, defined by category “style” with [shop-page-wp category=’style’]to another blog post and it worked fine.
    So products from my original post had to be updated with a new category shortcode “travel” as in [shop-page-wp category=’Travel’]
    This is when I had a fail. Nothing showed up on the “travel” post ( link above) To get those products to show up on the travel blog post I had to delete the category “style” products and revert to [shop-page-wp].
    Using v 1.09; WordPress 4.9.7; Safari 11.1.1
    Thank you!

    Tried this again today and found out using the category in the shortcode doesn’t work but if I use the category slug it does.

    Hi Tessa,

    Is it possible that you have duplicate category names? WP does allow duplicate names, but not slugs. This could be the cause.

    Best,
