 * Loving this theme, it’s working out great.
 * One issue I’ve come across is that my home header section and contact-us section
   backgrounds disappear after adding a shortcode for Marketo (who my company uses
   for forms). Basically, I stripped away all of the Pirate Form fields from my 
   child-theme front-page.php file, kept all the div’s and added my shortcode. The
   form appears on the page but it’s over a gray background. At the same time, the
   home header section background is also replaced by a gray background. When I 
   remove the shortcode, the backgrounds return. Looking at the Google inspector,
   the overlay background for each section have also disappeared.
 * I have tried two different Marketo plugins, “Marketo Forms” and “Marketo Forms
   and Tracking”. I am currently using the former, with an embed code of [marketo
   id=”1189″].

 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hello,
 * Please note that we do not offer support for third party plugins and script. 
   If any WordPress plugin is not working, try a different one with the same functionality
   it may work better for you.
 * Regards,
    Gourav
