 * This plug-in doesn’t do anything other than insert a
    <ul class=”lcp_catlist”
   >
 * tag into the posts.
    I’ve activated, deactivated, uninstalled, reinstalled, quadruple
   checked my shortcode, verified my category names and that there are postings 
   in each category, and tried the shortcode on pages and posts.
 * Nada.

 * This is strange. Could you please paste the shortcode you are using, and the 
   URL to your WordPress blog?
 * Thanks!

 * Have the same issue.
 * **[catlist id=4]** is the shortcode I’m using.

 * Try something like this:
 * [catlist ID=145 numberposts=10 order=asc]
 * works for me…

 * I have the same problem. I’m on WP 2.8.4. Here is my shortcode: [catlist ID=87
   orderby=date mycategory numberposts=-1 excerpt=yes]
 * But, even though i enter this in HTML mode, it keeps adding the <p> code so, 
   it actually looks like this on the screen after i save it
 * <p>[catlist ID=87 orderby=date mycategory numberposts=-1 excerpt=yes]</p>
 * Not sure if that is the problem but, in any case, the shortcode doesn’t work,
   it just appears as text.
