 * last_name
 * nickname

_Including in a page or post_

    ```

To add options as in the description, pass as parameters. See plug-in description
for all options. eg:

    ```
      [hts-displaymembers count=10 display=user_nicename]
    ```

_Including in a theme_

## FAQ

Q. How do I change the style of the list?
 A. In the plugin folder is a .css file
that you can edit, remember to keep your changes and re-apply them after updating
the plugin in future.

You can confirm the path for the file by switching on the debug information (see
Plug-in
 description) and looking for the value for STYLESHEETPATH. This is the 
file you need to create.
