 * Hello,
 * I’m not sure if this is a bug or I’m not using the shortcodes in the right way…
 * I have installed the plugin PageNavi and it appears at the bottom of the page,
   a page that I have created to insert the posts of one category. I have used this
   shortcode:
 * `[latest cols="1" type="post" num="3" thumbs="true" excerpt="true" length="55"
   cat="23" orderby="date" order="DESC" offset="0"]`
 * This shortcode works ok to show 3 posts of the category 23 but there are 5 posts
   and the paginator only shows 1 page with the three first posts, so the last 2
   posts are missing.
 * Am I doing something wrong?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * The ‘latest’ shortcode isn’t intended to be the primary method of rendering posts
   and thus pagination isn’t supported in this context.
 * The purpose of the latest shortcode is to be used inside a Page (for example)
   that has content of it’s own. You might use this to render a block of related
   posts in the same category or something.
 * Here is some more detailed documentation of how the shortcode is intended to 
   function:
