 * I am using tabby via do_shortcode() in custom post type template file, but it
   doesn’t work. Otherwise it works without problems – in the posts and pages. What
   could be a problem?

 * Did you **echo** the `do_shortcode()`?

 * Yes, of course:
 *     ```
       <?php
       echo do_shortcode('[tabby title="Tab1"]');
       ?>
       content
       <?php
       echo do_shortcode('[tabbyending]');
       ?>
       ```

 * Please link to a page on your site where this should appear, and indicate where
   on the page you expect it to appear.

 * The issue appears to be that the javascript is not loading. This may be caused
   by another plugin or by the theme.
 * To troubleshoot, first deactivate all other plugins. If the javascript loads 
   and the the tabs appear then activate the plugins one by one to identify the 
   one causing the issue.
 * The theme you are using does not appear to be listed on WordPress.org theme directory,
   so I do not know whether it is coded to normal WordPress standards as it would
   not have been passed by the theme review team.
 * Troubleshooting the theme is not as easy as looking for a theme issue would normally
   be as you would need to emulate the code you have added to your template on the
   default twentyfifteen theme to check whether it works when your theme is taken
   out of the equation.

 * Thanks for hint. I don’t understand that I didn’t notice. Footer (and all scripts)
   is missing 😀 Thanks again. I am going to fix it.

 * If it is a theme issue, the first thing to check would be that your footer.php(
   or possibly another file depending on how the theme is built) correctly includes
   the mandatory [wp_footer()](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_footer)
   hook.
