 * Hi all,
 * This is kind of urgent, but the group shortcode doesnt seem to be working.
 * For example:
    [helpie_faq group_id=’4150’/]
 * Not Faq’s show up on the page from this group. On the faq post I added it to 
   the group and also to a category, then that category has beeen added to the same
   group, in either cases it doesn’t show up.
 * I’ve also tried to use the gutenberg block and select the category from the list
   but it just shows all faq posts.
 * Not sure what im doing wrong here. Any help?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * So that option was enabled and didn’t really work. So what I’ve done is used 
   the shortcode generator, selected the category id and placed it on the page.
 * It works for what i need right now, I just wish it was more clear and easier.
 * Thanks.

 * also there seems to be stuff from the helpie faq plugin getting printing to the
   console.
 * Search init
    jquery
 * These 2 things are in the browser console. Why is this happening and how can 
   this be fixed?

 * Hi [@dannyotoole](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dannyotoole/) ,
 * Sorry. Thought that you were mentioning that the categories were not displayed
   in the FAQ page. I was not aware that you were looking to display a particular
   category in the page. However, I am glad you were able to figure this down.
 * Regarding the items printed in console, we will remove it soon. Thanks much for
   bringing this to my notice.
 * I will make sure to let you know once this is removed.
 * Kind Regards.
