 * I think your plugin is great, however, is not working with my theme.
 * I put the code
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[responsive_menu]’); ?>
 * in the end of my footer.php file, however, when I refresh the page, the menu 
   doesnt show and when I inspect the code, it appears like this:
 * [https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_lXheo4dRgm38Fu6_z8YYscmeH66YLcd6VRvOEqKED5VMatkzx_Cl6gUFfnLHBswfM6ylkNbpV0TUs=w1366-h663](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_lXheo4dRgm38Fu6_z8YYscmeH66YLcd6VRvOEqKED5VMatkzx_Cl6gUFfnLHBswfM6ylkNbpV0TUs=w1366-h663)
 * I already went to Technical >> Menu and switched the shortcode menu to on. Am
   I doing something wrong?

 * Hey there,
 * What’s wrong with this? That is the expected output of the shortcode…
 * Can you let me know what the issue is with the plugin exactly and provide a URL
   so I can check?

 * When I inspect, the code is appearing, as you can see. But if you pay attention,
   the code is transparent, and I doesnt see the real menu at my footer. The html
   is not rendering. My theme is actually at localhost 🙁

 * Hi there,
 * It’s quite difficult for me to debug if you can’t provide a URL.
 * What do you have in your breakpoint setting and are you making sure you’ve resized
   your browser small enough so it becomes visible?

 * I just uploaded it to the url dominiocomum.com (the password is dominio_comum).
 * The button and div id generated by the theme are hidden. How can I change this?
   Even when I cancel this css rule in firebug, the color options (css) that I picked
   doesnt appear.

 * Hi there,
 * I just checked on my mobile and it worked first time for me.
 * Are you making sure to resize your browser down below 800px or view it on a smaller
   screen as I advised in my last message?
 * All the best
 * Peter

 * Hi there,
 * Can you confirm that you have tried resizing your browser below 800px width and
   it still doesn’t show as it’s working for me here…

 * Hi there,
 * Can I suggest you read through the documentation and familiarise yourself with
   the plugins admin interface as this is covered in one of the first documentation
   articles and is the first option presented to you in the plugin admin area:
 * [https://responsive.menu/docs/initial-setup/choose-a-breakpoint/](https://responsive.menu/docs/initial-setup/choose-a-breakpoint/)
 * Reading through the documentation will get you up and running a lot quicker and
   help you to understand what the plugin can and can’t do a lot easier.
 * If you want the mobile menu to show at all screen sizes for example you can simply
   increase the breakpoint value to something really high (as mentioned in the documentation).
 * I hope this helps you out and if there is something you can’t find in the documentation
   please let me know.
 * All the best
 * Peter
