Only shows certain categories

    I’m running into an issue and can’t seem to find anyone having the same issue. I currently have 6 different categories, including Uncategorized. When I use the shortcode, it only works with one of the categories I created and the uncategorized category. To give you a better idea, I’ll use an example.

    I created categories A, B, C, D and E. The shortcode works for category B (and Uncategorized), but not for A, C, D, E.

    I have assigned an equal amount of posts to each cat. Some posts are assigned to multiple categories (B, D and E) and is showing up for the one category that works (B), but not the other (D and E).

    I’ve tried removing all arguments except ID ([catlist id=121]), and still only shows the one category (B). Keep in mind, all im changing in the shortcode is the ID, and only trying one ID at a time.

    Now just to let others know, I can manually query any of the categories by ID in the page template file and it works. But I don’t want to create individual template files for each categories. The site is going to be maintained and added to by someone with no programming/web dev knowledge. So this plugin would be perfect for that person if I can get it working correctly.

    ***Update****

    So I finally realized why some of my categories won’t show up. The posts that are in the categories that aren’t showing up are custom post types whereas the ones that do show up are regular wp posts.

    After some more reading I’ve seen others are having issues getting the plugin to work with custom post types and taxonomies. I do see you can use custom post types via post_type=posts, but cannot specify the taxonomy.

    I’m hoping that gets addressed in a future update because I really like the plugin and could see myself using it on many different projects.

    Hi we use this sort of call

    [catlist post_type=organisation tags=”Director”] without problem.

    Could you show us the call you are using where you say you cannot specify the taxonomy?
