Title: Short code does not work Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Short code does not work * [chrish09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrish09/) * (@chrish09) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/) * The short code **[WPCR_INSERT]** does not work without having **Enable WP Customer Reviews for this page** check box checked on a page with reviews on it. I tried placing the short code on a page , and the only way it shows up is if I check the box for enabling wp reviews. Whenever I check the box, the review automatically shows up underneath my wp content. I want to just be able to use the short code without it automatically showing up when I check the box on the page. Before the upgrade , it worked fine. Now its acting up * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [dowdboys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dowdboys/) * (@dowdboys) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541459) * Same here. Please let us know how to resolve this. * [krazykatz911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krazykatz911/) * (@krazykatz911) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541460) * It does work, after you activate, then go to the page that you have the reviews on. Make sure the The short code [WPCR_INSERT] is there. * THEN — * You have to scroll down the page and TURN ON reviews on that page by clicking the check box. Then enter all the company info in. * Your set. It works! * [ndc.funchal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ndcfunchal/) * (@ndcfunchal) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541463) * Hello, * [WPCR_INSERT] is implemented in a template as below (not in a page)… * ``` ``` * This template is basis for the single pages of houses/apartments to be rent. The code is correct implemented as you can see. Anyhow the reviews after updating to last version the reviews are not shown any longer. The site is done with WP Types&Views. * Thanks for any help. * [krazykatz911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krazykatz911/) * (@krazykatz911) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541465) * Go to the page in the backend of wordpress admin section. Scroll down, you need to check the box that says Reviews on this page. * [dowdboys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dowdboys/) * (@dowdboys) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541466) * If I check the box to allow reviews on the page, then I don’t need to use the shortcode for the reviews to show. But it only shows reviews that were posted on that page. We had the same review form on a different page at one point and those reviews don’t show. If I also put the shortcode in, then it shows all reviews from all posts. But the problem is that I get dupes of the reviews that were posted on that page because I used the short code and checked the box. * [WPCR_INSERT] * [WPCR_SHOW POSTID=”ALL” NUM=”100″] * [middlemountain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/middlemountain/) * (@middlemountain) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541467) * I’m having the same issue since the update. Deactivated and activated the plugin, page has shortcodes: * [WPCR_INSERT] * [WPCR_SHOW POSTID=”ALL” NUM=”100″] * and the Enable WP Customer Reviews for this page is checked. I get the pagination icons for the 12 pages of reviews that I have, but no review is displayed on the page above or below it. * Plugin Author [Aaron Queen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bompus/) * (@bompus) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541473) * [@dowdboys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dowdboys/) [@middlemountain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/middlemountain/)– These both sound like completely different issues. * [@dowdboys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dowdboys/) – You are seeing every review twice when adding the WPCR_SHOW shortcode? * [@middlemountain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/middlemountain/) – You are seeing pagination for reviews, but no actual review contents? * [middlemountain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/middlemountain/) * (@middlemountain) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-does-not-work-2/#post-6541474) * [@bompus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bompus/) – Correct. Pagination but no reviews. I had to revert to an earlier version of the plugin to get the reviews back. Perhaps a deprecated php function?
