Title: Shortcode is disrupting theme Last modified: March 30, 2020 --- # Shortcode is disrupting theme * Resolved [therustyfox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therustyfox/) * (@therustyfox) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/) * I’m using the OceanWP theme. There is a 3-column footer widget. * When the [wpdocs] shortcode is on the page, the footer widget does not look right. If I delete the shortcode, it returns to normal. * Screenshots: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/x1qfbzugttlgyru/wpdocs-shortcode-removed.jpg?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/x1qfbzugttlgyru/wpdocs-shortcode-removed.jpg?dl=0) [https://www.dropbox.com/s/eetujbztkqbb4jz/wpdocs-shortcode-installed.jpg?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/eetujbztkqbb4jz/wpdocs-shortcode-installed.jpg?dl=0) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Fahad Mahmood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fahadmahmood/) * (@fahadmahmood) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/#post-12600038) * This plugin is based on Bootstrap, theme will be disturbed if the same CSS classes are being used for HTML elements. * There are two solutions: 1. Either you manage your CSS classes to adjust with Bootstrap for this page 2. Or i can provide an option to TURN OFF BOOTSTRAP in next version, in that case you need to style your page for this plugin * In next version i will also mention on banner and icons, it is a bootstrap based plugin. So users can evaluate their theme first. * P.S. We normally test our plugins on default WordPress themes. * Thread Starter [therustyfox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therustyfox/) * (@therustyfox) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/#post-12600170) * Thanks Fahad! I will watch future updates for an option to disable bootstrap, should you decide to do that.

Thanks! * Should the checkbox remained “checked” if the feature is selected? I can click it, and the message says the option has been applied, but it doesn’t remain “ checked” if I leave the screen. So, it doesn’t seem to be working as a toggle. * Plugin Author [Fahad Mahmood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fahadmahmood/) * (@fahadmahmood) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/#post-12602442) * I have tested it carefully, it should remain checked. Please give it another try and let me know if still not working. - This reply was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [Fahad Mahmood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fahadmahmood/). * Plugin Author [Fahad Mahmood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fahadmahmood/) * (@fahadmahmood) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/#post-12602892) * I have tested it on another WordPress website with fresh installation, it is working. * Thread Starter [therustyfox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therustyfox/) * (@therustyfox) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/#post-12603030) * I’ve installed it on another site, and it seems to work ok. But not on the original site. I’ve deleted the plugin, and re-installed it, but all the previous settings are still there. What is the best way to completely clear out the plugin, and re-install? Is there a wp database section that needs to be cleared? * Plugin Author [Fahad Mahmood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fahadmahmood/) * (@fahadmahmood) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/#post-12603122) * No idea my friend. * Thread Starter [therustyfox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therustyfox/) * (@therustyfox) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-is-disrupting-theme/#post-12603167) * I’ll work it out.
