Problem with Show Posts Tag

    Hi, I have a problem with the [ic_add_posts showposts=’1′] tag. I added this tag on my home page, but it doesn’t seem to work. All the posts in the previously specified category show, and what’s more, the most recent post shows twice. For example, it would look like this:

    Trial Post 3
    Trial Post 3
    Trial Post 2
    Trial Post 1

    (with all the post text and etc.)

    Does anyone know how to actually make this tag work?
    Also, the way it currently looks in my text editor:

    <p style="text-align: left;"><b>Current at Rogers:</b>
[ic_add_posts showposts='1'][ic_add_posts exclude_category=uncategorized]</p>

    Thank you

    Hi RogersPTA,

    Can you tell me the outcome you’re looking for? What posts do you want to see listed?

    Here’s what I see above, and what I’d expect. Please let me know if you’re seeing something differet.

    There are two shortcodes here, so you’ll get two “lists” of posts.

    The first shortcode, [ic_add_posts showposts='1'], I would expect to just list the most recent post. Basically, it says, “list all posts, but limit it to the first one on the list.” And the first one should be the most recent.

    That’s followed by the second shortcode, [ic_add_posts exclude_category=uncategorized], which I would expect to list all posts that are not in the “uncategorized” category (starting with the most recent).

    If Trial Post 3 in your example above was the most recent post, and not in the “uncategorized” category, and if Trial Posts 1 & 2 were not “uncategorized”, then I would expect the result you showed. The first Trial Post 3 is the result of the first shortcode, followed by Trial Posts 3,2, & 1 — the result of the second shortcode.

    If your objective is to display only the latest post that is not Uncategorized, the following shortcode should do it.

    [ic_add_posts showposts='1' exclude_category=uncategorized]

    Any of that help?
