# Shortcode Error

 * I created a new page containing a shortcode for a randomized category that I 
   named “example”:
 * [randomize category=’example’ random=’1′]
 * If I insert just [randomize], the shortcode would trigger. However, the problem
   occurs when I added the category name and random=1. The page shows blank and 
   the code doesn’t show up on the page.
 * Would appreciate your help!

 * Hi [@davidaskswhy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidaskswhy/)
 * I noticed an error in my FAQ.
    Please use the correct `'`-symbols. Then try again.
 * Regards,
    Sebastian
