 * Well done guys for getting the new plugin updates. I have added a new page to
   the menu and the menu item is added ok. One question, can shortcodes be used 
   on pages added to the menu? Currently, my shortcode is being printed as is. Any
   ideas?

 * Thank you very much [@cherrymount](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherrymount/)!

 * Shotcodes currently work only in BuddyPress compatible themes (like the standard
   BP theme shipped with BuddyPress). We’re currently working on being able to display
   the shortcodes in non-standard themes. We have a topic open regarding this with
   BuddyPress.org. Here is the link in case you’re interested in following: [http://buddypress.org/support/topic/problems-displaying-shortcode-contents-in-non-standard-bp-1-7-themes/](http://buddypress.org/support/topic/problems-displaying-shortcode-contents-in-non-standard-bp-1-7-themes/)
 * Thanks again!
