 * Hi,
    in shortcode, you can put the choice of only one category? or more categories?
   for example I would like the generated content, it made for a category:
 * [related_posts_by_tax title=”Video correlati” format=”thumbnails” image_size=”
   medium” taxonomies=”authors” ]
 * this line works, but returns the posts of all categories.
 * Thank you
    Marga

 * Hi marga451
 * Sorry for the late reply. The plugin searches for related posts by default in
   all taxonomies. If you supply taxonomies in the shortcode the plugin will search
   posts in only those taxonomies. It also depends if the current post (the post
   to display related posts for) has any of the taxonomies you supply.
 * If you want it to search in multiple taxonomies you can separate them with comma’s.
 *     ```
       [related_posts_by_tax title="Video correlati" format="thumbnails" image_size="medium" taxonomies="authors,publisher" ]
       ```
