 * Hello, looks like a great plugin, but I have a problem straight away with none
   of the shortcode params working at all .. except one; which is broken!
    So, if
   I try [psac_post_carousel category=”2″] it ignores me and still displays all.
   This is the same for all params, except if I use [psac_post_carousel limit=”10″]
   is breaks down and shows post number 1 three times and nothing else. That is 
   the state I’ve left it in for now, a test site I’m working on. Fully up to date
   WP etc, no other plugins other than Smush and a popular lightbox. Also just tried
   the Twenty Twenty theme and its still the same. Any ideas? Nice one!

   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@sonic1243](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sonic1243/)
 * Plugin works with multiple shortcode parameter.
 * Sometime what happen when we copy the shortcode and paste it into the WordPress
   editor then double quote (“) are converted to special character (”) and it does
   not work.
 * So I suggest you to remove the double quote and add it again manually and then
   check.
 * I hope this will resolve your issue.
 * Also are you using Gutenberg shortcode block to add the plugin shortcode?

 * Ah ok yes, and I see on the FAQ page there is a variety of quotes in use! ”3″
 * Yes I’m using the Gutenberg Shortcode block, fully up to date.
 * But, no this isn’t solving the problem…
 * I see there are three different high quotes in html (” “ ″). Double, Left Double,
   Right Double, in order. I’ve just tried using each of those; for both ends; and
   none are working.
 * I’ve even tried copying the exact quotes used in ContactForm7 shortcode; still
   doesnt fix it. I use shortcodes all the time; never had this before.
 * Curious to know what’s going on here?!

 * Just spotted its started working, and last night the “shows post number 1 three
   times” seamed to fix itself after a few hours too. (And I’m doing Shift+F5 on
   it in my other work occasionally) So, seams there’s some delay in implementing
   the changes to the shortcode, and now its decided to work!

 * I’ve got this problem with other shortcode plugins as well, I must have some 
   kind of quotes problem on my computer but I can’t find it, checked language etc.
   I’m goin crazy .. something is corrupting my shortcodes somehow…

 * So this isn’t an issue with your plugin, sorry… I’ve had it the other similar
   plugins I’ve tried today, culminating with Shortcodes Ultimate; if I change the
   shortcode I get “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”,
   broken page. And I’ve just tried this in Twenty Twenty theme and it does the 
   same thing, totally broken. I’ve got something really wrong with my shortcodes!

 * Hi [@sonic1243](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sonic1243/)
 * Can you please provide me the web page URL on which you had setup the plugin?
   so I can take a look and try to understand the scenario.
 * Are you using any cache plugin or server side cache is enabled as you have late
   changes applied on pages?

 * Hi, na no plugin , this is my own making .. I’ve messed up in my themes functions.
   php I think and managed to stop shortcode arguments working. Shortcodes work,
   but arguments don’t. Learning by mistakes … not fixed it yet tho.

 * For me; I had a totally unrelated and quite minor error in functions.php, which
   somehow caused shortcode arguments to fail ..

 * Hi [@sonic1243](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sonic1243/)
 * Glad to know that your problem has been solved.
 * [@dereckstif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dereckstif/) have you tried
   to remove the double quote in shortcode and adding it manually again?
