 * Dear friends, I am not an expert, I have a problem with this plugin. If a insert
   a shortcode in a page, when I view the page it is shown the shortcode itself 
   as normal text.
 * What can I do?

 * Can you copy and paste the full shortcode you are using and verify The Events
   Calendar Shortcode (separate plugin than The Events Calendar by modern tribe)
   is activated?
