Shortcodes

I’m am trying to use the shortcode for a feed and I want to exclude one particular category from the feed as well as use a template I’ve created. It works fine when I *don’t* exclude a category but when I try to exclude the category, nothing changes – that category’s posts are still included.

I’ve tried all of the following to no avail:
[wp-rss-aggregator source=”8061″ template=”connect-template” exclude=”40″]
[wp-rss-aggregator source=”8061″ template=”connect-template” exclude=”ogpp”]
[wp-rss-aggregator source=”8061″ template=”connect-template” exclude-category=”40″]
[wp-rss-aggregator source=”8061″ template=”connect-template” exclude-category=”ogpp”]

And I’ve tried putting the exclude parameter before source as well as between source and template. Nothing works to exclude that category.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thank you!
