 * Welcome,
    I try add my own shortcod to function.php in Hueman theme. Function
   doesn’t show any error but I no see any `<a href="...">`. Below i paste my code.
   Where I make a error?
 *     ```
       // ShowPrivateFile
       function ShowPrivateFile() {
       	ob_start();
       	$output='';
       	if ( is_page( 'login' ) ) {
       		$output = 'Pliki dostępne tylko po zalogowaniu:'.
                       '<a href="aaa.pl">abcd</a></br>'.
       		'<a href="aaa.pl">Faktura Klamki.JPG</a></br>'.
       		'<a href="aaa.pl">Faktura Wkladki Klucze.JPG</a></br>';
       	}
       	return $output;
       }
       add_shortcode("pokaz_prywatne_pliki", "ShowPrivateFile");
       ```

 * I found somewhere in the web simple code to make own shortcode. There was ob_start().
   Now I know that I needn’t do_start() but when after delete this element funstion
   still not show my links. What am I doing wrong?
 * I found one error. My page with shorecode is download not login.
 *     ```
       function ShowPrivateFile() {
       	$output='';
       	$allowed_roles = array('subskrybent2', 'subskrybent3', 'administrator');
       	if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user->roles ) ) {
       		$output = 'Pliki dostępne tylko po zalogowaniu:'.'<a href="https:">Protokół_z_zebrania_2015_11_15.doc</a></br>'.
       		'<a href="https:">KARTA_INDYWIDUALNEGO_GŁOSOWANIA.doc</a></br>'.
       		'<a href="https">Faktura Klamki.JPG</a></br>'.
       		'<a href="https">Faktura Wkladki Klucze.JPG</a></br>';
       	}
       	return $output;
       }
