 * Hey guys! So I’ve been working on a plugin which allows people to add an iframe
   depending on the input fields and then that is displayed when a shortcode is 
   created.
 * It isn’t making it a shortcode
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: Minepress Minecraft Dynmap Plugin

       /*Installation of Plugin */
       /* What to do when the plugin is activated? */
       register_activation_hook(__FILE__,'MP_Dynmap_install');
   
       /* What to do when the plugin is deactivated? */
       register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, 'MP_Dynmap_remove' );
   
       function MP_Dynmap_install() {
       /* Create a new database field */
       add_option("MP_Dynmap_data", 'Testing !! My Plugin is Working Fine.', 'This is my first plugin panel data.', 'yes');
       }
   
       function MP_Dynmap_remove() {
       /* Delete the database field */
       delete_option('MP_Dynmap_data');
       }

 * This is intended to be a public plugin. Any help is appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Ok so I fixed it by placing
 * `add_shortcode('MP-Dynmap', 'MP_dynmap_shortcode');`
 * above the function. But I found it doesn’t take the variable defined in the forms
   from width and height?
