    I am trying to display only the entries in one particular category but having problems. I have used this shortcode –
    [connections enable_category_select="Associate Members"]
    and also:
    [connections enable_category_select="ID:"34"]
    but in either case ALL the categories display on the dedicated page.

    Help!!!

    You need to use the category shortcode option. The option you’re trying to use is only for turning on and off the category drop down on templates that feature it. The correct values would be either true or false.

    Hope that helps.

    You’re using the category_name option with a category ID incorrectly.

    See the examples on this page on to correctly use the category ID. Do it exactly as shown, but with your category ID number.
