 * Hi
    Seems it’s a great plugin! However the following short code doesn’t work 
   for me: [a-z-listing taxonomy=”category” terms=”my-term-slug”]
 * However, following codes work nicely
    [a-z-listing] [a-z-listing post-type=”post”][
   a-z-listing taxonomy=”category” display=”terms”]
 * I’ll appreciate much your advice.

 * Hi,
 * Could you elaborate a bit more on the failure? What was code supposed to output?
   What did it show instead? Was the page blank or incomplete? Did you get a “500
   server error” response? Any other unusual behaviour?
 * I’m sorry that this reply isn’t immediately answering your problem…

 * I tried to show the posts from a specific category,
    However following short 
   code showed empty page: [a-z-listing taxonomy=”category” terms=”my-term-slug”]
 * But eventually one of your suggestion from other topics works well for my purpose
   using following short code.
    [a-z-listing display=”posts” post-type=”post” taxonomy
   =”category” terms=”xxx”]
 * Many thanks for this wonderful plugin

 * I’m glad you found the solution 🙂
 * Please come back and open a new topic if you have any more questions or I can
   assist further…
 * (I’m marking this topic as resolved for now)
