    I’ve been trying to display only posts from a certain category but looking at the shortcodes I cannot figure out how to. Any help? Thanks!

    @tiotrom Yes, you can definitely limit the items that will be displayed to a specific category.

    To start, use the shortcode like this:

    [random_post_on_refresh taxonomy="category" terms="2"]

    The number 2 above is going to be the ID of the category you want to display. You can find more details on how to get the ID of the category here: https://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/find-wordpress-category-id/

    I know it isn’t the most straight-forward, but the way the shortcode is designed makes it very flexible.

    Oh great thank you. Maybe add this as an example to the description page. Thanks again!
