@deip In inc/shortcode.php this part is the key:

if ( $ismulti ) {
  $limit = isset( $attr['limit'] ) ? (int) $attr['limit'] : 5;
  $ids   = array();
  $books = explode( ',', $atts['books'] );
  foreach ( (array) $books as $query ) {
    $query = trim( $query );
    if ( is_numeric( $query ) ) {
      array_push( $ids, $query );
    } else {...}

Because of is_numeric( $query ) condition, we can use books=”id” to show a single book, or books=”id1, id2, id3, …” to show some books. If category slug is a number, for example a year (what I used), the plugin interpret as book id.

Suggested solution: for category shortcode change attribute books to category.

@deip Hm, there is something in the background.

Now I updated the plugin from 1.7.5.1 to 1.7.6.1, and magic happened, category shortcode works for the 4 books. Ok, there is another (empty) category, so let’s test it.

I have 4 books (with PDF source). Now 2 books (3, 4) in category A, and 2 books (1, 2) in category B. Category shortcode works with category A, but not works with category B, after category setting changed on 2 books.

For testing purpose, I disabled all plugins (except DearFlip), and changed the theme to another, but nothing happened. After that, I disabled post revision feature (via wp_config) and deleted revisions (from wp_posts table), but nothing happend. Finally I changed category settings on all books, and now book 1, 3 are in category A, and 2, 4 are in category B. Category A shortcode still working, but category B shortcode not changed, shows one empty book cover.

Is there a cache method in the background?
