All categories being pulled instead of specified one

I’m having the issue where every category is pulled in instead of just the one I want. I’m running WP 3.6.1 with version 1.2.3 of the plugin. I have a base install plus the theme, and this plugin running.

I’ve created a page here: http://www.journey.rhombusdesign.com/supernatural/

And the page content has one line of text describing the page plus this:
[ic_add_posts category=’supernatural’ showposts=’5′]

It is pulling all categories instead of just supernatural. Thanks for any help you can provide. I’d like to get this to work. It would be a major part of this site.

In an attempt to get this to work I’ve copied and edited the posts_loop_template.php and added it to my theme’s main folder, but it is not taking the change. It doesn’t see this file. I tried other tricks like renaming it and adding that name to the short code, but get the same result.

Has this plugin been tested on WP 3.6.1? There may be a bigger problem than mine at work here.

Thanks for the help. I really want this to work!

Can you copy and paste the exact contents of the page supernatural? Perhaps to the pastebin.

In this series, we talk about the supernatural.

[ic_add_posts category=”supernatural” showposts=”5″]

… and here it is in pastebin. http://pastebin.com/Ji3aGT74

hockeybrad,

It appears to me that the shortcode isn’t actually being triggered on that page, perhaps you have a page-template that is over-writing the page content for the supernatural page?

Hey Brad & Jordan,

Looks to me like Jordan’s right – there’s no indication from the code that the plugin is being triggered. If it were, I’d expect to see specific classes on the post wrappers like you’d see in the posts_loop_template.php file.

I’m curious how you’ve set your pages under Settings > Reading for Front page displays. Are you using a static home page and, if so, have you set the Blog page?

Or, like Jordan asked, is there a specific page template overwriting?
