# Shortcodes or bootstrap classes?

 * Good day everybody,
 * I am a bit lost: I tried to type shortcodes like [link_button], [dropcaps], [
   youtube], etc, but they do not seem to work (when I preview my page, they get
   displayed “as is” instead of being replaced by the element they represent).
    
   Is there an easy way to implement them?
 * Also can I use the equivalent of a bootstrap class to manage the layout of my
   pages?
 * Thanks so much to y’all

 * Hi,
 * Shortcodes is not available with Lite Version of theme.
    Yes, you can use span1
   to span12(span1,span2,span3….span12) bootstrap classes for manage pages layout.
 * Let me know if you have any issue.
    Thanks
