   I was having issues with the taxonomy attribute in the shortcode. I understood from the included shortcode examples that custom taxonomies were supported - but I was having a problem implementing them myself.

   Just to explain my approach: - I use a custom taxonomy I created called 'display' for my theme so that I can specify where I want content (post & pages) to appear in my templates without it being visible in my categories . In this instance I wanted to have posts be selected for the slideshow by the 'display' term 'homepage-slideshow'.

   so I thought this shortcode would work:
   

   <?php echo do_shortcode('[upzslider intertype="post" interid="home-slideshow" taxoname="display" ]'); ?>

   for some reason my term/custom tax was not getting pulled up correctly and was instead defaulting to the most recent posts.

   From what I can understand by reading the plugin files (I am not a developer as you can see) there are three slider/ or slide types which determine the query method
   The slider checks if the slides are type1(posts) or type 3(custom post type) and if 1 or 3 it uses the slider_getinfo_by_cat function to query the slides,
   and then for everything else (including slider type 2(pages)) it uses the slider_getpages function.

   So following that logic I added an if statement ahead of those two that says if the taxoname is NOT empty - load slider_getinfo_by_term function instead.
   I simplified the slider_getinfo_by_cat function and changed the query syntax (and I probably removed some steps needed)
   and put it in upzSlider.php:
   

   function slider_getinfo_by_term($taxoname, $term, $number, $fetch,$slider_title_max_char,$slider_title_thumb_max_char,$slider_desc_max_char) {
   	global $post;
   	global $intername; // used as term
   	global $taxonamesc; // taxonomy
   	global $usingshort;
   
          $myposts = get_posts("post_status=\"publish\"&$taxoname=\"$term\"&numberposts=$fetch");
   	$postok_number = 0;
   
   	foreach($myposts as $post) :
   		if(has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
   		$post_perma[] = get_permalink($post->ID);
   		// R�cuperation des options
   		$title = "";
   		$title = tronc_str(__($post->post_title),$slider_title_max_char);
   		$post_title[] = $title;
   
   		$thumb_title = "";
   		$thumb_title = tronc_str(__($post->post_title),$slider_title_thumb_max_char);
   		$post_thumb_title[] = $thumb_title;
   
   		$content = "";
   		$post_excerpt = get_option('slider-contentexrpt');
   		if($post_excerpt==1) {
   		$content = tronc_str(__($post->post_excerpt),$slider_desc_max_char);
   		}
   		else {
   		$content = tronc_str(__($post->post_content),$slider_desc_max_char);
   		}
   		$post_content[] = $content;
   
   		$thumb[] =  get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID,'upz-big');
   
   		$thumb_mini[] =  get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID,'upz-small');
   
   			if(sizeof($post_title)==$number) {
   			wp_reset_query();
   			return array($post_perma,$post_title,$post_thumb_title,$post_content,$thumb,$thumb_mini);
   			}		
   
   		}
   	endforeach;
   	wp_reset_query();
   	return array($post_perma,$post_title,$post_thumb_title,$post_content,$thumb,$thumb_mini);
   }

   and after this in slider.php
   

   if($interid!=null && $interid!='') {
   		$slider_cat_id = $interid;
   		}
   		else {
   		$slider_cat_id = get_option('slider-category-id');
   		}

   I added this:
   

   if($taxoname!=null && $taxoname!='') {
   		$term = $interid;
                   $taxoname = $taxoname;
   		}
   		else {
   		$term = "";
   		}

   Then changed this if else statement in slider.php:
   

   if(($slider_type==1) || ($slider_type==3)) {
   	$allinfos = slider_getinfo_by_cat($slider_cat_id,$slider_view_number,$slider_fetch,$slider_title_max_char,$slider_title_thumb_max_char,$slider_desc_max_char);
   	}
   	else {
   	$allinfos = slider_getpages($slider_cat_id,$slider_view_number,$slider_title_max_char,$slider_title_thumb_max_char,$slider_desc_max_char);
   	}

   to:
   

   if($taxoname!=null && $taxoname!=""){
   $allinfos = slider_getinfo_by_term($taxoname,$term, $slider_view_number,$slider_title_max_char,$slider_title_thumb_max_char,$slider_desc_max_char);
   }
   elseif (($slider_type==1) || ($slider_type==3))  {
   	$allinfos = slider_getinfo_by_cat($slider_cat_id,$slider_view_number,$slider_fetch,$slider_title_max_char,$slider_title_thumb_max_char,$slider_desc_max_char);
   	}else{
   	$allinfos = slider_getpages($slider_cat_id,$slider_view_number,$slider_title_max_char,$slider_title_thumb_max_char,$slider_desc_max_char);
   }

   It seems to have worked for me - Just posting it if anyone finds it helpful!

   Thanks again for a great plugin!
