 * Hi wish to use shortcodes on various parts of my site which only shows one listing.
 * Since i can not make tag based shortcodes, I was thinking if i could make an 
   individual catagory to each listing and this way i can make shortcodes based 
   on this category containing only one listing. This just leaves me with a new 
   problem and that is the fact that i do not want these catagories to be displayed
   anywhere on my website to end users.
 * Please help me i cant figure out how to solve this problem and any help is much
   apriciatted:D

 * I have found out that this:
 * li.cat-item.cat-item-2077 {
    display: none; }
 * (2077 beeing the category id)
 * prevents the category in question in showing up on the main page. But when i 
   click on advanced search the category still shows up in the drop down menu.
 * does any one have any suggestions in how 2 fix this?

 * I hided the whole element in the advanced search widget.

   listing. how do i hide this category without hidding all of them?

 * Hi LennartW,
 * Sorry that you ran into issues here!
 * Using the shortcode for displaying the listings for a single category and then
   forcing a single listing in that category is definitely the hard way to do this.
 * We have it on our list to add a shortcode for a single listing. Let me see how
   hard it is and if we can add it to our next release due very soon.

 * Hi guys thanks for the feedback, and by the way I love your plugin which i strongly
   recommend to everyone who builds sites. Good to know that the issue is on the
   to-do list and I am looking forward to the next updates. Thank you for your time
   and help!
