 * For some reason I just can’t get it to work as I want. Let’s say I have a category
   called ABC and I want to list all posts in that category.
    What would the shortcode
   be for that?

 * I want to list all the items in a category called “Family Computer”, the slug
   is “familycomputer”.
    So the short code I am trying is [a-z-listing display=”
   posts” taxonomy=”category” terms=”familycomputer”]. The result is that nothing
   gets listed.

 * Hi,
 * You haven’t specified a `post-type` so the default is used, which is `page`. 
   Categories are normally not associated with the page post-type, so I think you
   likely want to tell the plugin that you want the `post-type` of `post`:
 *     ```
       [a-z-listing display="posts" post-type="post" taxonomy="category" terms="familycomputer"]
       ```

 * Thanks, that was it.
