 * Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have two test wordpress installations. On the
   clean install the plug-in works just fine. On the other one with some content
   the plugin won’t apply the filters it always shows all posts.
    I switched themes
   and deactivated all other plugins. Could the post/page structure have affect 
   on the plugin in anyway? The shortcode shouldn’t be the problem it worked on 
   the other wp installation just fine.

 * That didn’t do it, eh? Hmm. That would have been my first suggestion.
    1. What themes have you tried?
    2. You’re using the exact same shortcode o
    3. n each install?
    4. Do they both have the same permalink structure?
    5. Are both installations on the same hosting platform? (shouldn’t matter)
 * > Could the post/page structure have affect on the plugin in anyway
 * It really shouldn’t.
    1. How many pages are in your test install with content?
    2. Is there anything that’s different about the content, or are they straight ahead
       posts and pages?
 * Cheers,
    Eric

 * Hi Eric, thanks for the quick reply.
    I’ve tried Twenty Eleven, Twenty Twelve
   and just now Contango in which it magically works. After switching back to my
   old theme it still works. Unfortunately no idea why, I’d really like to know 
   it though have been working on it for 2 hours.

 * Do you have any caching turned on? Using WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache or 
   the like?

 * No, nothing of that.
    I played with the permalink structure though. But after
   that it still didn’t work only after switching to that other theme.

 * Could you have had Pretty Permalinks turned off? If so, that may have done it.

 * No, not that I know of..
    Anyway, it’s a cool plugin and looking at this section
   awesome support. You’d wish that for commercial software.
