# shortcode doesnt work

 * Hello Developer,
 * First thanks for the great plugin.
 * I have 100+ posts in wordpress about movie details, but I dont have posters for
   all the posts, so primarily I am trying to figure-out the solution for poster
   display in every post by using your great plugin. When I went through document
   I saw [movie_poster title=”any_movie_name” size=”full”] shortcode and exactly
   this can fulfill my requirement by using it in post by just replacing “any_movie_name”
   with actual movie name.
 * Now the problem is, whenever I insert this code or any other shortcode from your
   document, it appears as is.
    e.g. If I insert [movie_poster title=”the mask” 
   size=”full”] then it appears as [movie_poster title=”the mask” size=”full”] except
   the movie poster.
 * Please help to resolve this, thanks in advance.

 * Hi androidorgin,
 * I just checked on my test installs, the `movie_poster` works just as expected,
   as well as all other shortcodes… Are you using the latest plugin version? A specific
   theme that could mess with Shortcodes?

 * Hi Charlie,
 * Please see the details below:
 * Theme: Edu (Version 1.2) By NewWpThemes
    Plugin: WPMovieLibrary Version 2.0.2.2
 * **Other Activated Plugins:**
    WP-Paginate Version 1.2.5 Options Framework Version
   1.8.2 BackUpWordPress Version 3.0.2
 * Also I tried all of your shotcodes, but nothing is working for me. I know all
   the shortcodes are working for everyone but not for me. Please help to resolve
   this. thanks

 * Hi now if I use <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[movie_poster title=”Se7en” size=”full”]’);?
   > directly in theme php file it becomes invisible while looking at post, so now
   the setup can understand it’s a shortcode. But still I am not getting poster 
   on that location.
    I even checked in source code, it is not showing any HTML 
   code at that locations (i.e. remains blank)

 * Do you see any notice of warning, anything in the server logs? I just installed
   Edu 1.2, and even though the theme is bloated with errors the Shortcodes work
   correctly, poster and every other.
 * That being said, this looks quite similar to [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-ne-fonctionne-pas?replies=10](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-ne-fonctionne-pas?replies=10)(
   fr). If you happen to have pages/posts named like your movies, this may be the
   issue.

 * Hi Chrlie,
 * You were right, actually i had 2-3 pages same name as movies… I delete these 
   pages and shortcodes started working…. thanks for the help and advice… 🙂

 * No problem, you’re not the first person affected by this 🙂 Version 2.1 was released
   yesterday and should fix this, though!
