Title: Short code not working?

Can you let me know what issues you are facing in IE11 so I can investigate. * Please advise * Peter * Thread Starter [webworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webworks/) * (@webworks) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-not-working-47/#post-10513602) * Also I must be missing it – is there a margin/padding setting for where the link items begin at the top? (For instance…number of pixels From the top of the browser… like there is for the trigger button ?) * thanks so much for your response! This is a great plugin so far 🙂 * Thread Starter [webworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webworks/) * (@webworks) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-not-working-47/#post-10513607) * To respond about the shortcode … I always just put it within the page itself. * When I turn shortcode on, the text in brackets disappears as it should, but the menu doesn’t appear. * I’ll contact theme developer and see if they can tell me why it’s not working. * In the meantime, Is there any other alternative… to have it appear only on the home page of both desktop and mobile? * ~~~~~~~~~~~~ * There are no IE 11 issues with your plugin – I was just confirming. I had the perfect hamburger menu setup (with a different plugin), but it completely broke the site in IE 11. Your plugin appears to be just fine – thankfully. * Thread Starter [webworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webworks/) * (@webworks) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-not-working-47/#post-10513632) * I should add….If there is a pro option that will help me do this quicker (that I don’t recognize in the settings), I’m more than happy to purchases pro version. * This is the website I need a working hamburger menu on (home page only; desktop/ mobile) as quickly as possible: [https://lavidaapartments.com/](https://lavidaapartments.com/) * (I’m testing it on the other site first) * [Peter Featherstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterfeatherstone-1/) * (@peterfeatherstone-1) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-not-working-47/#post-10513690) * Hey there, * There are no top padding/margin settings for the links themselves, just for the button as you say. Adding a top margin to the links would need custom css work. * How did you insert the shortcode in the page. If the shortcode has disappeared on the page then it sounded like it worked correctly. * Have you inspected your page to see if the html for my plugin has been added in it’s place? * Please advise * Peter * [Peter Featherstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterfeatherstone-1/) * (@peterfeatherstone-1) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-not-working-47/#post-10513694) * Hey there, * I can see it working on [https://stanielcayadventures.com](https://stanielcayadventures.com) so it looks like you got the shortcode working. * Please advise * Peter Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Short code not working?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/responsive-menu/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1782326) * [Responsive Menu - Create Mobile-Friendly Menu](https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-menu/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-menu/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/responsive-menu/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/responsive-menu/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/responsive-menu/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/responsive-menu/reviews/) ## Tags * [Short Code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/short-code/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Peter Featherstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterfeatherstone-1/) * Last activity: [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-not-working-47/#post-10513694) * Status: resolved
