# Shortcode generator does not change

 * Hi there. I like this plugin and want to use it to accomplish several things 
   for me.
 * However, no matter what I do in the shortcode generator, it does not change the
   shortcode. I’ve tried to figure out how to manually change it, but I’m not having
   success.
 * I have three groups defined: TDI3 Team, Sponsors, and Advisory Board.
 * I have one person identified as a TDI3 Team, and 2 Sponsors defined.
 * I need the shortcode to show only the groups I want, on the pages where I want
   them.
 * Here’s what the shortcode says now:
    [team_manager category=’0′ orderby=’menu_order’
   limit=’0′ exclude=” layout=’grid’ image_layout=’rounded’ ]
 * On the shortcode generator page, there is no button to hit to tell it to update.
   Should there be?
 * Each group seems to have two identification numbers. One is “Team” which I see
   in the groups screen in the list of groups, and the other is “category ID” which
   I see when I hover over the group name. I’ve tried using these numbers in place
   of ‘0’ in the category= part of the shortcode, but I get zero results in the 
   page when I do this.
 * What’s going on? Any help is appreciated.
 * Thank you,
    MJ

 * Hi.
    Thanks to this post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/team-order-is-not-working?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/team-order-is-not-working?replies=3),
   I was able to figure out that I should use the Category Slug instead of 0 in 
   the category= section of the shortcode.
 * Simple fix that would have really helped me –
 * Would you add some text to the WordPress Plugin site that shows what all of the
   variables in the shortcode mean, and what valid settings are?
 * For example:
    category=’0′ will pull all categories (groups). To do a specific
   category, replace ‘0’ with ‘categoryslug’
 * That would be super helpful!
 * Thank you.
    MJ
