 * Hey,
 * I have tried to paste shortcodes in the root site of the multisite. By that, 
   I intended to have all posts in other sites displayed in the root site.
 * After copying shortcuts provided everywhere including in FAQs, pasting it in 
   the page or post, I get either a blank page or page showing that shortcode the
   way it is.
 * What could be the problem?
 * Regards

 * The shortcode used by the program is used on Pages, not Posts. So if you want
   a page to show posts from other sites, then you would create a page on the main
   site and use the shortcode there.
 * The shortcode may work on a sub-site page; I have never tested that, as the intent
   of the plugin/shortcode is to be used on a page on the main site (master site).
 * Hope this helps. Thanks!
