Using query parameter in [post_grid] shortcode

I think my problem relates to this. I am trying to use a shortcode with the query parameter but I am getting a “Notice: Array to string conversion in /…/builder.php on line 650.”
How do you pass the parametes in a shortcode?
i.e.
[post_grid columns="3" rows="3" query="tag=comedy" orderby="post_date" order="DESC" offset="0"]
query=”tag= does not look right.
Thank you

This should be correct. What version of the theme are you using? Are there any posts currently with a “comedy” tag? Is this the exact usage you’re using in your site?
Hi Jason. I am using Version: 1.1.5.
the comedy tag is just an example. Post Grip Widget with the following query worked
post_type=products&posts_per_page=8&cat=19
Using the same in a shortcode does not work
query="post_type=products&posts_per_page=8&cat=19"
What’s odd is that the line corresponding to your notice can’t happen if there’s a custom query happening. So, something is off here.
I’m not sure if my forum is messing with what you’re putting in or not.
(1) Are you doing this:
query="post_type=products&posts_per_page=8&cat=19"
(2) Or are you doing this:
query="post_type=products&posts_per_page=8&cat=19"
I am using the latter (2). A better example will be:
This query works fine in a widget:post_type=solutions&category_name=solution-service-provider&numberposts=3&offset=0&orderby=rand&order=DESC
but it does not in a shortcode
[post_grid columns="3" rows="3" query="post_type=solutions&category_name=solution-service-provider&numberposts=3&offset=0&orderby=rand&order=DESC" link="false" link_target="_self"]
I repeater, I am not using the HTML code for ampersand (& amp ; )
Thank you
