 * I’ve been trying to use this plugin with custom posts, calling it with a shortcode.
   For some reason, it’s not recognizing my custom post name. Even when I try to
   add a category to that post there’s still nothing

 * Hi
 * I’ve tried many variations, but this is the simplest one
 * [sgvscroller postcount=”5″ posttype=”testimonial”]
 * you listed calling the post type as “posttype”, but I also tried calling it using
   the more common “post_type” with no luck. I also attempted to assign a category
   to it, and call the category along with it, no luck.

 * Hi
    I have to look at your setup more closely. Can you give me access to your
   site so I can look at the code and debug what the problem is?
 * please email me at admin [at] sirisgraphics [dot] com

 * Thanks for the response,
 * Unfortunately I couldn’t grant anyone access of the site, but I figured it out…
   kind of.
 * I think I was calling the category type by it’s id, I think this worked fine 
   with regular posts, it didn’t with the custom. But I found if I called the category
   by it’s name it works perfectly!

 * Hi Katzka
 * You would have to fiddle with the code to do so. Let me know if you are comfortable
   with it and I will try and send it you soon.
 * Thanks
