 * Did you turn the pagination off? Plus is the plugin on a page or post. Pagination
   only works on pages not posts or custom post types unfortunately. It’s because
   WP started adding /page/ to pagination. I use the default WordPress pagination
   feature.
 * So if the above link is a post please change it to a page. If you keep the slug
   the same it will make no difference to the search engines.
 * On your site’s main home page you can see the pagination here: [http://cosmic.erdd.us/page/3/](http://cosmic.erdd.us/page/3/)
   in the link.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your response!
 * The above link is a category result. The shortcode is embedded in category.php
   inside of the child theme.
 * As you indicate, the plugin works fine on the main page:
    [http://cosmic.erdd.us/](http://cosmic.erdd.us/)
 * but fails on these category result pages. Is there some modification I can make?
 * Tx

 * I created pages and have a better result, but here is a **page** with a problem:
 * [http://cosmic.erdd.us/mars/](http://cosmic.erdd.us/mars/)
 * shows the latest post as being 9/12/2016
    but if you go the blog where most of
   these Mars posts come from, you will see there are many more recent posts:
 * [http://cosmic.erdd.us/lfenton/](http://cosmic.erdd.us/lfenton/)
    The shortcode:[
   netsposts taxonomy=”mars,hirise images” titles_only=”false” thumbnail=”true” 
   size=”324,216″ image_class=”alignleft” auto_excerpt=”true” excerpt_length=”100″
   show_author=”true” paginate=”true” mid_size=”8″ end_size=”5″ list=”10″ order_post_by
   =”date_order desc”]
 * Thoughts?

 * The dates I see are the same. I see the most recent. Remember if you have a caching
   plugin you may not see all updates. I’m working on a fix so you may show the 
   list on a post or category. Will be available on next update.

 * Yes, the date problem was due to the following:
 * I had tags that were named mars as well as categories named mars, and that caused
   the problem. You may want to specify the specific taxonomy choice of categories
   or tags in the next update…?
 * Thank you!

    I have done the upgrades
   you have asked for. Please keep me posted if they are working fine. Read the 
   readme.txt file for details.

 * The latest plugin version 5.2 will now let you select which taxonomy you want
   to show. For example `taxonomy_type='category'` or `taxonomy_type='tag'`
