 * Hi, I want to love this plugin, but it’s currently giving me a hard time if I
   want to use the extra parameters. I’m using Divi and I want to show the last “
   project” which is a divi built-in custom post type. This plugin can pull in the“
   projects” but it doesn’t respond to the custom parameters I add.
 * I have tried this in both a text and a code module:
    [recentposts-sc numberofposts
   =”4″ post_type=”project” get_cat_name=”true”]
 * It still won’t show me the category, it did not show me 4 projects, and it showed“
   Posted on…” so it seems like whatever parameters I’m passing are being ignored.
 * I only want to show title, category, and featured image.
    And I only want to 
   show ONE project, which would be the latest one.
 * Please help
