Hi there TelB,
Well first of all, are you certain that the category taxonomy is shared across all post types? I only ask because, by default, this taxonomy is only enabled for posts, so you would’ve had to enable it for pages and products as well. Assuming you’ve done that, then your shortcodes would respectively look like:
[ssrp post_types="post" number_of_posts="3"]
[ssrp post_types="pages" number_of_posts="3"]
[ssrp post_types="products" number_of_posts="3"] (assuming products is the post type slug)
If you truly are using the native category taxonomy across all 3 posts types, then you shouldn’t need to specify the shortcode’s taxonomy attribute since it defaults to category.
Let me know if this solves it for you, or if you still have questions.

Hiya Mickey,
Very good of you indeed to provide a reply! 🙂
Much appreciated indeed!
Yes, I do have a common taxonomy albeit that I have had to create it manually. So, there is not a single database index covering all the instances. Rather, I have had to create the taxonomy individually for each post-type.
This implementation can be viewed at:

So, the taxonomy going across posts, pages, forums, RSS etc is all indivudal and separate from each other.
Cat1-1
Post1
Post2
Post3
Cat1-2
Page1
Page2
Page3
Cat1-3
Forum1
Forum2
Forum3
I have activated your plugin and am playing now with your kind asvice above
Cheers

Hi again TelB,
Unfortunately, this won’t work, as the taxonomy must be shared across all post types, not just individually recreated for each one. You can try my solution, but I’m doubtful that it will work given the setup you’ve described.
I’m marking this as resolved for now.
