 * Hi Luxar,
 * I wasn’t having an issue with displaying a category. I wanted to show an excerpt(
   which I still haven’t figured out).
 * Anyway, to show a specific category you just add the parameter, eg.
 * `[recent_posts count="1" orientation="vertical" category="remember"]`
 * Go here and scroll down about 60% of the way to see examples:

 * Yes it is, but when you get a reply like the below, don’t you think there’s a
   chance someone else might know?
 * “Hey guys,
 * This is feature isn’t currently supported but we have taken note of this as feature
   request and might implement it in a future release.
 * Thanks.”
 * I tried editing the shortcode file but that broke the website. Whoops.
 * I’ve reverted it back.
 * Would something like a custom template work? If so, how would I go about doing
   this?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * OK – I moved the get_sidebar in to index.php
 * seems to have just placed the sidebar above the content (in terms of z-index)
 * **
    EDIT: 
    Now that seems to have also made it so it is just on the home page.
   That makes sense, but it’s not what I want.
 * Maybe I should move it back to header.php
 * Let me know
