 * I’ve been trying to use post shortcode in the following way:
 * I’ve created 2 additional post types that have specific styles. For example, 
   in addition to the default Post type, I’ve created a
    Card type [][][] and a 
   List type [ ] [ ] [ ]
 * The idea was that everything would be a post but I’d be able to style them via
   these post types. So a post can be style cards. But when I try and do something
   like post_ids=[card] it acts like a filter and it excludes anything but card 
   types. If I add post so its like post_ids=[card, post] it also doesn’t work. 
   I loved how doing this allowed me to edit post card styles in customizer but 
   again, it does not work. Any suggestions?

 * Hello [@bluscale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluscale/),
    Sorry but 
   unfortunately I don’t really understand what are you trying to achieve. Could
   you please somehow explain a little bit more detailed?
