 * Nothing shows up when using the shortcode with a custom post type. At all.

 * Hi Jon,
 * I’m able to output custom post types using the shortcode, however I realize the
   documentation might be misleading.
 * Here’s the shortcode I’m using to output a custom post type with the slug `cpt-
   1`, and showing other cpt-1’s related by a custom taxonomy with the slug `ct-
   1`:
 * `[ssrp title="My Related Posts" post_types="cpt-1" taxonomy="ct-1"]`
 * The part that’s missing in the documentation is the `taxonomy` shortcode attribute
   will default to category if not specified, and you’ll therefore need to explicitly
   specify the the taxonomy attribute for custom taxonomies. I will add the defaults
   to the plugin description to clarify this – thanks for the heads up!
 * Please let me know if this doesn’t solve the issue for you. If that’s the case,
   if you could include your shortcode and post-type/taxonomy setup, that’d be helpful
   in reproducing and solving the issue. Thanks!
