 * Is it possible to specify a particular category in the short code so that a page
   of FAQ’s only shows that categories FAQ’s?
    Thanks Tony

 * Dear Tony,
 * That is exactly how Spider FAQ works. When you insert the shortcode, you need
   to choose the category.
 * Thank you.

 * Oh OK. However I’ve searched both your website and the WordPress page on the 
   plugin and cannot see any details of available shortcodes apart from the standard[
   Spider_FAQ id=”N”]. Could you direct me to the appropriate page?
    Many thanks
   Tony

 * Dear Tony,
 * Please use the button on the post/page editor to insert the shortcode. It should
   look like this: [http://snag.gy/yOpUU.jpg](http://snag.gy/yOpUU.jpg)

 * Thank you for your reply. I clicked on the question mark as you suggested but
   that only gives me a choice of the list of FAQ’s. It doesn’t appear to allow 
   me to specify a category in the short ode which is what I want to do?

 * My apologies! I think I now understand how Spider FAQ works! I need to create
   separate Spider FAQ sections to which I can add the categories that I want to
   appear in that FAQ section. If I want all the categories to appear then I add
   all the categories to the relevant section. If I only want one category to appear
   then I only add that particular category. In both cases I would need to add the
   relevant section ID to my site page.
 * You are working on an update form me that that gives me the option to collapse
   all categories if I have more than one category on a page.
 * Again my apologies for not understanding how Spider FAQ worked. My 70 year old
   brain is sometimes slow to understand many things!
 * Thanks again
    Tony

 * Dear Tony,
 * Please be informed, that this option unfortunately is not available, but you 
   can choose the categories, which you need to add into an FAQ.
 * Thank you.
