# [Plugin: WordPress Download Manager] Shortcode / Sidebar Issue

 * When I use the shortcode to display a category, the sidebar on the page is pushed
   down the page into the footer area. (This does not happen when I use the shortcode
   to display individual downloads)
 * I’ve also noticed that the shortcode for categories uses curly brackets “{” “}”,
   instead of square brackets “[” “]”. Could this be the issue?
