 * I download the plugin and tried to use it through the shortcode that you provided
   in installation instructions, Menus shortcode worked fine but categories shortcode
   isn’t working.
    when I use it the page shows empty nothing appears

 * Hi,
 * For category accordion shortcode, taxonomy parameter is very important. Also,
   make sure you have posts on your categories or set hide_empty parameter to no.
