 * If I use
 * `[dg category=219 mime_types=image]`
 * where 219 is the category of the images to display, I get
 * 219 is not a valid term slug/name in category.
 * Why?

 * Hi dejudicibus,
 * You named your category “219”? DG only accepts the name or slug for a category.
   That sounds a lot like a category ID which would not work.
 * Also, keep in mind that if all of the images you’d like to include are not attached
   to the post/page where the shortcode is being used, you’ll need to also include
   id=-1 in order to force DG to look across all attachments rather than just attached
   documents.
