When I take out the ACF bit, the shortcode works great John, so that category part has no problems. The issue seems to be 100% with how I am passing the ACF values to the shortcode.
The reason it’s blank is in creating the shortcode parameter itself to allow the option to specify a category if desired. When I leave that blank it just shows all posts 🙂
The problem is now I have added ACF, when I am trying to use the newly created parameter ‘metavalue’ in my shortcode, it doesn’t show any results.
I could use categories for this but it ‘seemed’ easier to use ACF and now I am keen to know why this isn’t working for future 🙂
