    adding a category breaks the plugin and I get no output. Removing the category part then it displays all images in the media library.

    I tried to update line 43 of cptbc-frontend.php as suggested in github but no difference.

    If I click “View Image In Carousel” it works fine. I have the shortcode on the homepage.

    <section id="banner-carousel">
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[image-carousel category="homepage"]'); ?>
  </section>

    Hi ukkpower,

    When you say no output, you mean absolutely no HTML produced by the shortcode at all? Are there any PHP warnings or error messages?

    This isn’t a general problem as it works on my system, so maybe try using different category names and combinations of images to see if you can get any output..

    Hi Phil,

    Yes no HTML or warnings, just the outer section tag in the source code. I did as you suggest but sorry no difference.

    Since no other instance of the shortcode was reported I looked at my code. Reading some issues with the shortcode not working for others I could see that content filtering might be a cause.

    Looking at my code I removed the following at it then worked.

    function my_query_post_type2($query) {
	if ( is_home() && false == $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] )  // is_home() == if this page is the "home" page
    $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'offers', 'attachment' ) );
  return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'my_query_post_type2');
