 * I’m trying to use the shortcode multiple times on one page. Basically, I’m trying
   to categorize all my posts of a single category into each of their custom taxonomies
   as further segmentation.
 * When I use the shortcode twice in a row, it only displays the first one. I’m 
   using it like this:
 * [display-posts taxonomy=”article-type” tax_term=”a” include_excerpt=”true” image_size
   =”thumbnail” posts_per_page=”-1″ order=”ASC” orderby=”date”]
 * [display-posts taxonomy=”article-type” tax_term=”b” include_excerpt=”true” image_size
   =”thumbnail” posts_per_page=”-1″ order=”ASC” orderby=”date”]
 * Can I not do this, or is there another way to achieve this?
 * Thanks!

 * That should definitely work. Can you confirm that you have terms in both “a” 
   and “b”?
 * I just did it with standard categories and it worked fine:
 * `
    [display-posts taxonomy="category" tax_term="a" include_excerpt="true" image_size
   ="thumbnail" posts_per_page="-1" order="ASC" orderby="date"]
 * [display-posts taxonomy="category" tax_term="b" include_excerpt="true" image_size
   ="thumbnail" posts_per_page="-1" order="ASC" orderby="date"]

 * OK, thanks. A and B were actually examples. I was actually using the terms “theology”
   and “work”, and for whatever reason, when I use “work” nothing will show up. 
   There’s something off with that keyword I guess.
