Title: Shortcodes Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Shortcodes * Resolved [ld1975](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ld1975/) * (@ld1975) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-160/) * It`s not possible to use shortcodes of my theme. I only see the text not the visual content of the shortcode like [hr style=”1″ margin=”40px 0px 40px 0px”]. * How can I fix this? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-160/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-160/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-160/#post-6090325) * “hr” is not a job manager shortcode, but themes need to use the_content() to output post content in order for shortcodes to work.

If you have WP Job Manager installed, it will show a form. If you do not, or the theme does not support standard WordPress shortcodes, you’ll need to ask the author. * Thread Starter [ld1975](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ld1975/) * (@ld1975) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-160/#post-6090402) * It works fine [http://www.aros-services.de/test/](http://www.aros-services.de/test/) * Plugin Author [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-160/#post-6090427) * Then its working fine 🙂 ? * Thread Starter [ld1975](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ld1975/) * (@ld1975) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-160/#post-6090429) * no, the problems are always there. * Please give a example how you would insert a table in the job-listing.

It will only work if something (such as your theme) defines it. * If you want to add borders around elements, you can do so with CSS.

Write me a small table script that works in your job manager “edit job listing” area. and I will copy an paste it and look what happens.

No shortcodes required. * > ALL,ALL shortcods of my theme don`t work with job manager. * Jobs are not different to regular posts.
