 * I am trying to make the transfer form appear in a dashboard environment.
 *     ```
       <?php echo do_shortcode('[mycred_transfer]
       <p>This text goes inside the wrapper before the transfer form.</p>
       [/mycred_transfer]'); ?>
       ```

 * Hi.
 * What version of myCRED are you using. If you try just [mycred_transfer], does
   it render anything?
 * Also, have you selected admins to be excluded from using myCRED? If you have 
   the shortcode will not render!

 * Hey, [mycred_transfer] does nothing, I’m using version 1.5.4, I have MyCRED installed.
   On the same page, I have it display the amount and that works fine.
 *     ```
       <h1><?php _e( 'Points' ); ?></h1>
       <p>Your DoodlePoints: <?php echo do_shortcode('[mycred_total_balance]'); ?></p>
       <h2>Transfer DoodlePoints</h2>
       <?php echo do_shortcode('[mycred_transfer]'); ?>
       ```
   
 * I used Sweet Custom Dashboard to make the custom dashboard page
