 * I’m trying to create different lists for multiple pages on my site.
    I can’t 
   seem to figure out how to do that. I have many users on the site and each user
   has a ‘homepage’. I’d like to embed different lists corresponding to their specific
   pages….help? PS. newer wp user…still learning.
 * Thanks!

 * The only way to do that would be to enable categories (under To-Do List > Settings
   > General) and have a different category for each page. Then you put the category
   id into the approrpiate shortcode to just display that category on the page. 
   For example: `[todochecklist category="3"]`, replacing the 3 with whatever the
   category ID is (the ID is listed on To-Do List > Categories).

 * I wanted to add that if each list you want to display is specific to user, there
   is another way.
 * If you let users have their own lists, then it will automatically show their 
   own to-dos. If you have the list view type set to Group, then you can assign 
   to-dos to users and use the setting that allows them to only see to-dos assigned
   to them. And master view allows you to have one list that all users complete 
   individually.

 * Thanks Cindy…
    I’m still trying to work it out. I have multiple users assigned
   to certain pages throughout the site, I’ll try to explain.
 * User A
    User B User C User D
 * User A&B both need to see the checklist on their page within the website and 
   both need to be able to check off items as they are completed.
 * User C&D have another page within the website with a completely different list
   of items.
 * I don’t want to assign specific items to specific users as I would like either
   User A or B to be able to check them off.
 * Also, I don’t want the item to disappear when it’s checked off. Is this possible?

 * It’s not currently possible except with plugin modification to keep the items
   from disappearing when checked off.
 * It sounds like the best solution would be to use the category method. For example,
   make a Group 1 (or whatever you want to name it) and put that category on the
   page that User A and B can access. Then make a Group 2 cagegory and put that 
   on the page that User C and D can access. Then assign to-dos to the correct categories.
