# [Plugin: Visual Form Builder] Shortcode

 * I am new to WP and this is my first site. Created form ok but when I either paste
   the shortcode into a page, or use the icon to insert the form, the form does 
   not generate. All I see is the shortcode. I must be missing something very basic.
   Help please!

 * You need to publish the page and then view it in order for the form to display.

 * Did that many times. Does not work. I put shortcode into html view.

 * It might be a plugin or something in your theme causing problems. Deactivate 
   all other plugins and switch to the default Twenty Elven theme.
