 * Hi, so everything works just fine apart from the category shortcode. I’ve already
   checked if the double quote is correct (currently using this “). Please confirm
   if the following are correct ; for example, i have a category of posts which 
   are called Events, if i paste the following shortcode
    [psac_post_carousel category
   =”category_Events” design=”design-1″] then, is the post carousel only going to
   show the Events category? Also, if i replace the category name, with the category
   slug does it make any difference at all?

 * Hi [@douradonis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/douradonis/)
 * Thanks for detailed response.
 * I have checked your shortcode and found that you are adding category name.
 * Actually you need to pass category id as a shortcode parameter. You can find 
   category id in web page URL when you edit them in admin area.
 * Please try with category id. It will work for you.
 * You can pass multiple ids with comma separated.

 * hi and thank you for your rapid response to my issue. Everything now that i fixed
   my shortcode works just fine!! Thank you once again! Also, one little suggestion
   is to add to you plugin’s description-instructions for the shortcode parameters,
   Display by Category
    category=”category_ID” ( i.e Display posts by their category
   ID ), edit it in order to avoid misunderstandings that category ID can be found
   in web page URL. Thank you for your time.
