# Shortcode Resulting in Different Lists

 * I am seeing two different lists generated from essentially the same settings.
 * On this page ([https://staging.lifecycleinsights.com/](https://staging.lifecycleinsights.com/)),
   I have added the sidebar widget. I am showing posts in a category and filtered
   by a custom taxonomy, which is engineering-domains=532. This shows the correct
   list.
 * On this page ([https://staging.lifecycleinsights.com/mechanical-design-2/](https://staging.lifecycleinsights.com/mechanical-design-2/)),
   which was created using Elementor, I have inserted the following shortcode.
 * [rpwe post_type=post cat=545 engineering-domains=532]
 * This creates the first list on the page, in the green section on the right under‘
   Mechanical Design.’ As you can see, it shows a different set of posts.
 * Please advise.

 * Thanks for the reply. I have tried the following…
 * [rpwe post_type=”post” cat=”545″ engineering-domains=”532″]
 * … and the following…
 * [rpwe post_type=”post” cat=”545″ engineering-domains=”mechanical”]
 * … and there is no change.
 * I have experimented with things. I can get the cat filter to work. But no matter
   what I do, the engineering-domains does not work.

 * The standard wordpress categories are: slug=initiative (id 545) and slug=reviews(
   id 181).
 * I have created a custom taxonomy (type category) with the slug engineering-domains.
   Those values are slug=mechanical (id 532) and slug=electrical (id 533).
