 * I am trying to add a single post of a category to a page. Right now I am getting
   all my posts on that page. I just want the newest post to show from the Set Times
   category. The code I am using is `[ic_add_posts category='set-times' showposts
   ='1'post_type='post']` What am I doing wrong?

 * Hi Newbie1941,
 * It could be several things, but here’s what I’d try first:
 * 1. Abbreviate your shortcode to `[ic_add_posts category='set-times' showposts
   ='1']` – you shouldn’t need to specify you’re pulling a post as that’s the default.
   You should only need to specify if pulling custom post types.
 * 2. Double-check your category slug to make sure it’s `set-times`. You can do 
   this under **Admin > Posts > Categories**.
 * Let us know how it goes.
