# Shortcode Displayed…

 * Hi,
 * I appreciate that this issue is almost certainly not specific to this plugin,
   but I’m at a complete loss with this now…
 * I am running WordPress version 5.0.3 and using a child theme of Twenty Seventeen
   version 2.0 (same issue on plain Twenty Seventeen) and the front page section
   is displaying the shortcode rather than the content. (The page used for the front
   page section ([http://hopecommunitychurch.me.uk/what/](http://hopecommunitychurch.me.uk/what/))
   works fine on its own.)
 * WP Show Posts version 1.1.3
 * Any suggestions/ideas greatly appreciated, Andy

 * Hi there,
 * It could be how TwentySeventeen uses panels for the home page – I suppose it’s
   possible that the panels can’t render shortcodes?
 * Have you made many edits to the child theme?

 * Hi Tom,
 * Many thanks for your quick response and apologies for not replying sooner. I 
   have very few edits to the child theme.
 * Here is the odd thing. I have now moved the WP Show Posts shortcode up to the
   second section/panel on the front page and it works perfectly. It seems that 
   for whatever reason, it doesn’t like following on from the Event Calendar shortcode,
   which I have now moved down to the third section/panel, below WP Show Posts.
 * I’ll eventually uncover the issue, but I’m convinced it is not an issue with 
   WP Show Posts, so I’ve marked the thread as resolved.
 * Thanks again, Andy
