 * Hi – Seems a great plugin, but I can’t get it to find my custom post types… Could
   it be expanded to use those too?
 * Thanks

 * Hello!
    Yes, I’m going to support custom post type support in one of the following
   versions of the plugin, try to do it in the next release. Stay tuned!

 * Thanks heaps for doing this. It now recognises that there are custom post types
   in the drop down, but the generated shortcode doesn’t seem to find anything. 
   I’ve put below what it generates. I selected a custom post type called ‘events’
   but it doesn’t add anything in to this shortcode information to find it.
 * [lptw_recentposts layout=”grid-medium” posts_per_page=”10″ reverse_post_order
   =”false” color_scheme=”dark” show_date_before_title=”false” show_date=”false”
   show_time=”false” show_time_before=”false” date_format=”d.m.Y” time_format=”H:
   i”]
 * Also, the custom post types have categories, but it doesn’t find any of those
   in the drop down for categories. Is it able to do that too?

 * Shortcode builder works with javascript, probably, your browser cache the script.
   Please clear the browser cache or update shortcode builder page witch Ctrl+F5.
   
   You can also set post type in the shortcode manually, just add <b>post_type=”
   your_post_type”</b> to shortcode.
 * Categories for custom post types? Of course, I’ll do it in the next release, 
   most likely tonight:) Right now you can insert manually IDs of your custom categories,
   just add to shortcode **category_id=”ID”**. Multiple categories IDs must be separated
   by comma.

 * Thanks very much for the added info. That helped it find the custom post types.
   It seemed to repeat the same post though when I tried it out.
