Sorry for the late reply. This lingered near the top of my list for quite some time, but it never made it to the top of the stack until now.

> 4. How can I filter by the top posts **in a specific** category. I already tried this: [discourse\_topics id=A1 max\_topics=4 category=5 excerpt\_length=25 source=top] but it ignores the category and just shows the top discussions in the whole forum.

1. set `date_position` to something else than `top` or `bottom`
2. you should handle this on Wordpress side for now. Putting this on the roadmap.
3. for now you can select topics only by filtering on category. Tag support is on the roadmap.
4. this is indeed a bug. I have put this issue on the list of known (to-be-fixed) bugs.
