   [
   catsfolders category_id=”4″]

CAF is created to be ultra simple, with only 3 options. I am the only developer.
Please leave your feedback and feel free to send any changes request. The plugin
is not yet optimal so I am counting on your good will to improve it with the best
options possible. Thank you!
