Since the latest WordPress update, a user reported that the category posts on many pages weren’t working.
After some investigating, I noticed this was because the category filter wasn’t being observed. This plugin makes use of the get_posts() method, which in the codex says its default for the ‘category’ param is ‘ ‘, but in /wp-includes/post.php it’s now actually 0.
So I’m not sure if slugs are no longer supported or never were, but to filter by category you have to use the (tag)ID of that category! I asked the user and they say the problem only occurred recently. It’s all fixed now, so I don’t need support, it just might help anyone who’s looking for a resolution to the same problem.
Happy developing

Hi,
Is there a way to put the date behind the title?
When I turn show date on it also is wrapped in the same htlm tag as the title.
thx
]]>I am a newbie to WordPress. I am a retired programmer, but I am not familiar with PHP or “shortcode”. So, my inability to find some fairly extensive documentation was disconcerting. However, I will have to admit, I took your first example, tried it on the page where I wanted to display the full text of all posts in a category, and it worked!
In defense of my negative vote, I cast it but kept working on implementing your plugin. I hope you do add a bit more introductory verbiage on your options page. Perhaps an expanded readme file in your download – or better yet, populate the Help portion of your options page. Obviously, I don’t know how to develop plugins for WordPress, but I hope the latter is possible. Clicking on Help at the top of the page could be very helpful to a newbie like me in getting started.
I hope you consider expanding your Help. Please respond – I would be happy to change my vote!
]]>For some reason, my 1.5 changelog notes aren’t showing up on the site. They are:
= 1.5 =
* Added option to pull posts in at random instead of just by post_date or custom field
* Added option to control size of the image, if it’s included
* Added option to choose ‘read more’ text and pre-‘read more’ text
* Post titles now linked by default. Added option to un-link them
* Miscellaneous code cleanup
It would be great to have a way to include all categories in the shortcode. Otherwise I have to update it every time my client adds a new category.
]]>Could you add the shortcode options and examples to the plugin FAQ page? That would help people learn about the many available options before installing and activating.
Also, does the shortcode allow a query for posts that contain multiple categories, say BOTH “New York” AND “Pizza” rather than EITHER “New York” OR “Pizza”?
