 * Hi, I have a question, let’s see if someone can answer it…
 * There’s some short code as [customer-area] to load all the user private files
   in a private page?
 * It will work as [customer-area] but only loading files and ignoring pages.
 * Thanks

 * [customer-area] shortcode should be placed within a standard WordPress page, 
   accessible to everybody.
 * Customer private pages should be created using the “private pages” item under
   the customer area menu. Those are *not* standard WordPress pages.

 * Hi Vincent,
 * What I want is to list all private files from a user in a private page.
    I don’t
   know if it’s possible…
 * For example, I’ve a private page called manuals, and in this private page I want
   to list all files with the private category Manuals.
    Or in another way, I want
   to create a private page to list all the private categories and files that can
   acces the user…

 * Ok. I understand. You mean outside of the usual Customer Area page/shortcode?
 * If that is the case, there is no such option as of today.
 * However, that is very easy with a custom WP_Query. You can have a look at the
   file `private-file-customer_area_user_files-category.template.php` located in`
   includes\core-addons\private-file\templates\`

 * Why does it have category file if I can put all of them in one page? Is it not
   possible? I want to put all in Costumer Area Page.

 * You can use the [customer-area] shortcode to get every private content listed.
   Also, you can choose in the private files settings how you want them to get listed(
   by year, by category or simply alphabetically).
