 * I studied the extended documentation (unfortunately very few examles) and found
   something about shortcodes which lead me to try this on a page: [eo_events category
   =”wiederkehrend” showpastevents=false]
 * The result includes past events and events without the category=”wiederkehrend”
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-syntax-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
