 * Hi there,
 * I was wondering if it’s ok to ask a couple of questions:
 * 1. Is there is a way to change the text within the Post ticker? At present, it
   says Latest Post.
    2. Can I hide the pagination? 3. Can a second blog be added
   to the same page, so I may have different posts/blogs in each blog?
 * I am unsure if any of this is possible if it is, can you explain how please. 
   Unsure if it’s CSS or some other way.
 * Many thanks
    Caroline

 * Hi [@cazbarr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cazbarr/)
 * Sorry for my delay response.
 * For your query,
 * 1) Is there is a way to change the text within the Post ticker? At present, it
   says Latest Post.
 * Ans – Yes, You can. You just need to add the shortcode parameter.
    e.g `[bdp_ticker
   ticker_title="Latest Post"]`
 * 2) Can I hide the pagination?
 * Ans – I think you are talking about the arrow navigation which is coming on hover
   right?
 * 3) Can a second blog be added to the same page, so I may have different posts/
   blogs in each blog?
 * Ans – Yes, You can use multiple shortcode on the same page. You can easily display
   the posts / blogs category wise.
 * e.g `[bdp_ticker category="Category ID"]` – You just need to add the category
   ID over here. You can find the category ID in the address bar of the browser 
   when you edit it.
 * So you can display two different types of ticker on the same page with different
   posts or content.

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for your response, I will give all that a go and let you know how I
   get on.
 * Just one thing slightly wrong, I was hoping to hide all the dots at the bottom,
   not the arrows. They’re fine as they are on hover.
 * Thank again for any help

 * Struggling to get my blogs sorted. [https://cazbarr.co.uk/blog/](https://cazbarr.co.uk/blog/)
   I can’t get the categories to show. It just keeps reproducing the same blog.

 * Thanks again

 * Hi [@cazbarr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cazbarr/)
 * Thanks for your response.
 * For your query,
    **1) I was hoping to hide all the dots at the bottom, not the
   arrows. They’re fine as they are on hover.**
 * Ans – Yes, you can hide the dots of the slider. You just need to pass the shortcode
   parameter. e.g `[bdp_post_carousel dots="false"]`
 * **2) I can’t get the categories to show.**
 * Ans – Sorry, I did not get it clearly. Can you please provide me the full shortcode
   which you are using?
 * Also please provide me some rough screenshot for better understanding so I can
   help you my best.

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you again for your help 🙂 I have my dots hidden now.
 * The full shortcode I am using is: [bdp_post_carousel limit=”-1″ show_tags=”false”
   dots=”false”]
 * My other issue is: I’m looking to sort my blogs so readers can choose which blog
   posts interest them the most, without the task of having to scroll through 30
   + posts, as seen on my blog page: [https://cazbarr.co.uk/blog/](https://cazbarr.co.uk/blog/)
 * If I understand you correctly, you say this can be done with categories?
 * I have no idea how to achieve this on my blog page (link above).
 * Thanks again for any help

 * Hi [@cazbarr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cazbarr/)
 * Glad to know that your first problem has been solved.
 * For your query,
    1) I’m looking to sort my blogs so readers can choose which 
   blog posts interest them the most, without the task of having to scroll through
   30+ posts.
 * Ans – As per your request, you want to show posts for particular category only.
   right?
 * If above is the case then you just need to add the category id in shortcode. 
   e.g
    `[bdp_post_carousel dots="false" category="Category ID Here"]`
 * You can find category ID in the web address bar when you edit particular category
   from admin.

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks again for your help. I think I must be doing something wrong. I can’t 
   get my blog to show categories. Things I’ve tried:
 * 1. Adding category=”Shopping” to the end of my shortcode – [bdp_post_carousel
   limit=”-1″ show_tags=”false” dots=”false” category=”Shopping”] – Didn’t work
 * 2. Adding your code beneath existing code (above): [bdp_post_carousel dots=”false”
   category=”Category ID Here”] – Didn’t work
 * 3. Inserting just the code you supplied: [bdp_post_carousel dots=”false” category
   =”Category ID Here”] – Din’t work
 * I’m getting the same results every time…..Blog the same as usual…Carousel of 
   posts.
 * I’m not sure what you meant by You can find category ID in the web address bar
   when you edit particular category from admin.
 * Sorry, I’m not understanding your instructions.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@cazbarr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cazbarr/)
 * Please refer below screenshot so you will be more cleared
    [https://prnt.sc/tz4rx4](https://prnt.sc/tz4rx4)
 * In screenshot you can see the “Block” category has a ID 6. So the plugin shortcode
   will be like this.
 * `[bdp_post_carousel dots="false" category="6"]`
 * The above shortcode will display the posts for “Block” category only.
 * I hope this will help you.
