 * does this exist within this? Is there a shortcode that will bring only posts 
   within a certain category into a page?
 * Thank you!

 * No there’s no such code to pull a group of posts. But we have noted down this
   as a feature request and you may find it in the next release (soon).

 * Hi there,
 * I just wanted to update you that we’ve released version 2.2. This version features
   your requested short code.
 * **New Shortcode [scf-posts] outputs the posts of defined post type. Also supports
   categories and different attributes.**
 * I suggest upgrading to the new version, as well as, taking a look at the user
   guide for more details. Please see [http://shortcodefactory.com/users-guide/scf-posts/](http://shortcodefactory.com/users-guide/scf-posts/).
 * Have a great day!

 * Hi
    Looking for the same thing, but when I specify a post category it outputs
   all posts not just the one category I specified? Thank you

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your feedback, I have just retested the short code and found it
   working perfectly fine. I had a few categories and tested on each category to
   make sure, that it should return only the posts from specified categories.
 * I used following variations of the short code:
 * Using Slug & Multiple Categories: `[scf-posts category="audio, uncategorized"
   show="-1"]`
    Using Slug of Single Category: `[scf-posts category="uncategorized"
   show="-1"]` Using IDs & Multiple Categories: `[scf-posts category="1, 4" show
   ="-1"]` Using ID of Single Category: `[scf-posts category="1" show="-1"]`
 * show=”-1″: Grabs all posts in the category.
 * Let me know the way you are using the short code, so I can take a look and try
   figure out the issue. For more information, please see [http://shortcodefactory.com/users-guide/scf-posts/](http://shortcodefactory.com/users-guide/scf-posts/)
 * Thanks.
