Display posts short code not working
-
Hello, I am using the information on displaying posts within a page/post from here http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/. Originally it appeared to be working properly, then I decided to split based upon two different categories, Blog and Essay. Once I did that, the Blog category displays correctly, but the Essay one does not. It displays other post categories. Very bizarre! I’ve cleared the browser cache, reloaded the page, tried a different browser, and a few other things I’ve forgotten. I’m stumped. Any help would be most appreciated.
The page for the Essays is, http://bhikkhujojo.org/talks/essays/. the short code I’m using is, [display-posts category="essay" display-posts orderby="date" posts_per_page="100" include_date="true" date_format="j M Y" include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail"]. Again, this is identical to the short code used for the Blog category except for the category slug being blog — and it displays correctly as far as I can tell.Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!
Currently, your page “Essays” is set as the Blog page here:
https://bhikkhujojo.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php
Setting a page as the blog page overrides all content and automatically displays a list of your blog posts. In order for the display post shortcode to work, you’ll need to tag another page as your “Posts Page”.
Let me know if you need anything else!

Thank you, I didn’t understand completely what “posts page” was all about. This is the second time you’ve been helped me out. You’re awesome. Thanks.
