 * Hi, all help is appreciated!
 * I’m struggling to set up my “home” page. I only want to display the 4 recent 
   posts of each category there.
    This shortcode works fine:
 * [home_posts heading=’Reviews’ posts_per_page=’4′][/home_posts]
 * But I’d like to display only one category and one only there. Is that possible?

 * is the shortcode `[home_posts]` part of your theme or from a plugin?
 * what theme are you working with?
    what plugin?
