Oops! I figured it out. I pasted in the shortcode in Visual mode and it added a <pre> and <code> tag before and after it making it look strange.

Hi,

You’ll need to use the shortcode in a page to display them. That is simple enough. Just copy paste this shortcode into your chosen page [wp_cpl_sc cat_id=1 list_num=5]

As far as making them display horizontally, that would require some custom CSS on your part. This may be a bit too complicated to explain from scratch? It would involve deactivating the default CSS in the plugin settings and adding some custom CSS to your own theme’s stylesheet (set width as a percentage, margins, float left, then clear for the next line). It takes a bit of trial and error.

Hope that helps.

Sorry – "

Try using the HTML special character code for it. " is what you want.
I’m not sure why it’s not automatically converting it to this but this is a safer way to approach it in any case.

Here’s a whole list of special characters:
