    Hi,
    htaccess credentials uid=zotezo password=zotezo123!

    Shorcodes in Blog Post Category Description working now. Thanks a lot.

    But within the shortcode parameters I’m unable to use ‘Category’ filters as it supports (E.g. [recent_post_slider category=”5,10,15″])

    This is my URL of a category in edit mode: /wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=blog_category&tag_ID=42101&post_type=blog&wp_http_referer=…

    I tried using above shortcode as [recent_post_slider category=”42101″] But it doesn’t work, can you please help me on how to use it. My objectives are I wanna show slider on each category for that category only.

    Also, Is there any way to set a filter parameter using ‘Tags’ as similar to and additionally with category?
    Like [recent_post_slider design=”design-1″ limit=”8″ category=”105″ tag=”50″]

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    Please do not copy and paste the shortcode, sometimes quote(“) causing an issue, So shortcode write manually
    Another thing you can use only use single category or tag in one shortcode, you can not use both together.
    and there is no such tag="50" parameter support in the shortcode.

    If you want category then you have to use this way

    [recent_post_slider category=”5,10,15″ ]

    If you want tag wise then you have to write shortcode this way

    [recent_post_slider category=”1,11,15″ taxonomy=”post_tag”]

    Thanks

    Hello.
    I have the same problem. But i’m not using any tags or taxonomy. Here is my shortcode:

    [recent_post_slider category=”11,77,88,99″ autoplay=”true” limit=”5″ design=”design-3″ dots=”false” show_author=”false” media_size=”full” rtl=”false” speed=”3000″]

    everything works fluently, but category don’t work. And this is very important for me. If you can, please help me.

    Hello

    Thanks for reaching here.

    Please try this shortcode [recent_post_slider category="11,77,88,99" autoplay="true" limit="5" design="design-3" dots="false" show_author="false" media_size="full" rtl="false" speed="3000"]

    Note:- Please do not copy and paste the shortcode parameter because if cause the quote(“”) issue writes manually.

    Let me know if you are any query.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Will the category filter only work with catergory ID numbers or can it work with category names? We are using the category name atm and its not filtering. However there is no category ID in the URL
