Title: [Plugin: Ultimate Post Type Manager] shortcode isn't working Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Ultimate Post Type Manager] shortcode isn't working * [Aimee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greatdanemaniac/) * (@greatdanemaniac) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/) * Hi! This is an awesome plugin, but I don’t get how to use the shortcode. for the taxonomy plugin the shortcode `[xy_book]` works, but not the `[xy_book field ="author"]`. I’ve also noticed that several of these shortcodes doesn’t work either, let’s say: * ``` [xy_book] [xy_author] ``` * Only one is displayed, and it doesn’t even display properly… the output is sort of like this: * **Name**: Harry Potter * I would like it to be like this: Book: Harry Potter Author: J.K. Rowling * Also the shortcode `[xydac_field]book[/xydac_field]` is not working either. Please tell me how to use it!Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-post-type-manager/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-post-type-manager/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [XYDAC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deepakseth/) * (@deepakseth) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/#post-1754527) * I haven’t noticed such problem as shortcode not working, To help me more understand can you please post the taxonomies you are using, and their associated field types. * Moreover try out the new updated version of the plugin there is an enhancement of shortcode in it. * Regards, -XYDAC * Thread Starter [Aimee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greatdanemaniac/) * (@greatdanemaniac) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/#post-1754528) * For now I’m testing one: It’s a taxonomy called protein (I’m making a site about dog food). * The taxonomy name is protein and it has the same field name as well. It only displays it as **Name:** 29, where `name`should be protein. When I try the new enhanced shortcode, nothing as all is displayed and when I use the shortcode to display a CPT’s custom fields only the shortcode is displayed. * I’m not a huge fan on custom fields, but if it’s easier to display information like `get_the_terms_list` does, than I’d like to use it. * Plugin Author [XYDAC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deepakseth/) * (@deepakseth) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/#post-1754530) * I tried and tested as you said and everything worked fine with me, Later i checked with multiple terms associated with a post then i saw something weird, so i just corrected it and updated the version, Please check it out and let me know how it works. * There ain’t any easy way to pull out the information yet. * Regards, -XYDAC * Thread Starter [Aimee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greatdanemaniac/) * (@greatdanemaniac) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/#post-1754531) * Nothing has changed for me. Don’t think I’ll be using this feature then if the information is not displayed. * I hope that you’ll be able to fix the most wanted feature for me, display taxonomies and terms easily with your plugin. * //Anna-Maria * [el zorro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/el-zorro/) * (@el-zorro) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/#post-1754572) * I like this plugin but … * I too cannot get shortcodes to work. I am building a website for a walking club and I want to have a template for creating walks. I have created the custom fields but they will not appear in the post. What does appear is the code I have entered eg `[xydac_field]other-notes[/xydac_field]` * Any help/advice would be appreciated! * regards * Zorro * Plugin Author [XYDAC](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deepakseth/) * (@deepakseth) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/#post-1754573) * Fixed `xydac_field` shortcode, Update to latest version for fixing this. * Regards, -Xydac * [gchokeen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gchokeen/) * (@gchokeen) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-post-type-manager-shortcode-isnt-working/#post-1754690) * @XYDAC : I have same issue My custom field name is “**directions-link**“ following short code does not work for me `[xydac_field]directions-link[/xydac_field]` But `[xydac_field]direction-link[/xydac_field]` it works with out ‘s’.
