If you’re embedding the code directly into the template file, why bother with shortcodes? Simply extract the code from the add_shortcode() function call, and add it to your template, wrapped in an appropriate conditional tag, such as in_category(), e.g.: if ( in_category( $cat ) ) { // put shortcode code here } Note: the $cat … Read more
The promo slider on your demo site has the class .random, and in your style-Red.css file you give it a float: left; width: 200px.

The get_posts() argument is supposed to be numberposts not posts_per_page and you were passing it as string. Try making it an integer. function listposts( $atts ) { $atts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘tag’ => ‘jan-2011’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘order’ => ‘asc’, ‘post_status’ => ‘any’ ), $atts ); $catposts = get_posts( $atts ); $out=””; … Read more
