Title: Shortcode does not work in loop.php Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Shortcode does not work in loop.php * Resolved [_TM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/_tm/) * (@_tm) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-does-not-work-in-loopphp/) * Hi, * I would like to run the plugin in WordPress’ loop.php but using `[easy_sign_up]` as a shortcode doesn’t work. Guess I have to enter some php code here, but I have no clue where to find it. * Would be great if anyone could help.
