 * Hello, for some reason, the short code won’t work in my time-line post, but will
   work on my wp- pages, and wp- post. Please help, I really love this plugin and
   need it to finish up my website. Is there any php code i can use to insert it
   into the back end?
    I’m using a plugin called:Cool Time-line PRO. I literally
   just want to make it so the person can comment on the timeline post
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshort-code-not-working-on-plugins-post%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi arielle919,
 * thanks for reaching out.
 * I have not tested the comment for on pages that are neither posts nor pages in
   WordPress nor do I know Cool Time-line Pro. How much technical knowledge do you
   have so that I know what kind of help you need?
 * Thanks,
    Thomas

 * I’m a web a graphic designer. I know html, css, php and a little javascript. 
   So I can edit the plugin code from the back end. I just need to know the code
   to do it…

 * Hi arielle919,
 * thanks for your feedback.
 * It has been a while that I wrote this handy plugin so I had to take a look at
   the code again.
 * There is nothing within Advanced Comment Form that prevents the form to show 
   up for specific posts. The `[comment-form]` shortcode more or less just executes
   the `comment_form()` PHP function.
 * Maybe, shortcodes don’t work in general in that page where you tried it or can
   you use other shortcodes here?
 * Thanks,
    Thomas
