 * Hi, I do use this shortcode :
    [psac_post_carousel design=”design-1″ limit=”3″
   category=”1″ show_thumbnail=”true” type=”featured” show_author=”false” show_category
   =”false” show_date=”true” show_content=”false” media_size=”thumbnail” show_tags
   =”false” show_comments=”false” order=”DESC” orderby=”post_date” dots=”false” 
   arrows=”true” autoplay=”true” autoplay_interval=”4000″ speed=”1000″ loop=”true”
   sliderheight=”400″ content_words_limit=”0″ slide_show=”3″ slide_scroll=”1″]
 * even if I define type=”featured” it does not limit the post to the ones defined
   as featured into my blog.
    I have several with feature or sticky checkbox checked
   but I keep seeing others.
 * thank you

   categories as well.
    thank you for your help for fixing.

 * Hi [@padaben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padaben/)
 * Can you please provide me your web page URL on which you had setup the plugin?
   so I can take a look and try to understand the scenario.

 * Hi [@padaben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padaben/)
 * Thanks for the web page URL. I have checked it and found that you are using lite
   version.
 * For your query,
    **1) still see the 3 lasts posts but not the featured ones…**
   Ans – In lite version there is no functionality of Featured post. The checkbox
   you are referring may be a part of another functionality.
 * May be a theme or any other third party plugin.
 * Can you please send me the rough screenshot of checkbox setting?
 * **2) And If I check better, I limited to the cat ID 1 and the slider gets from
   others categories as well.**
 * Ans – Category parameter will work for you. Make sure you have added right category
   ID.
 * Also please take care of double quote in shortcode parameter `category="1"`. 
   Sometime what happen when we copy the shortcode and paste it into WordPress editor
   then double quotes are converted to special character and because of it the parameter
   will not work.
 * Please remove the double quote and add it manually. I will work for you 🙂

 * Thank you for your reply Ans,
    1/ the checkbox is native Wp function since a 
   long time. [https://kinsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/quick-edit-change-author.png](https://kinsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/quick-edit-change-author.png)
   here on the right side of the post status PUBLISHED make this post sticky
 * 2/ I did add right category. that’s why I asked, I triple checked.
    do you recommend
   to use single quote ? I did write the whole shortcode myself. or do you know 
   some incompatibility with Unyson pagebuilder ?
 * thank you

 * Hi [@padaben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padaben/)
 * Thanks for your response.
 * For your query,
 * **1) The checkbox is native Wp function since a long time…**
 * Ans – I have checked your screenshot and yes, It is a WordPress built-in functionality
   of “Sticky Post”.
 * Sticky Posts is a feature that places a post at the top of the front page of 
   posts, keeping it there until new sticky posts are published.
 * Plugin does not have a sticky post feature in a lite version.
 * **2) I did add right category. do you recommend to use single quote?**
 * Ans – This is very strange. It should work. I have checked on my side and it 
   is working perfectly. I have also checked the code.
 * I have again tried to look at your web page but it is not working. It says “The
   page isn’t redirecting properly”
 * > or do you know some incompatibility with Unyson pagebuilder ?
 * Are you using this plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/unyson/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/unyson/)?
   So I can check with it.

 * Hi [@padaben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padaben/)
 * For your query below are my answers
 * 1) Yes
 * 2) I have checked category parameter with and without plugin. It is working perfectly.
 * I have checked your category page ([https://www.sexualidadyafectividad.com/category/articulos/](https://www.sexualidadyafectividad.com/category/articulos/))
   But is returns 404 page although category have post assigned.

 * Hi [@padaben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padaben/)
 * Thanks for your response.
 * Can your custom code snippet be a reason of category parameter not working? May
   be it affecting to plugin query also? I am not sure but you can check.
