# Debugging Shortcode in Add HTML before event content

* A shortcode for a plugin is not working when added to Settings -> Display ->
Additional Content -> Add HTML before event content.
* Shortcodes from other plugins work and I have made sure the shortcode is pasted
as text. The shortcode in question works when it is added to a page.
* Can someone suggest how I can go about testing and debugging why this one particular
plugin’s shortcode isn’t working?

* I tracked down what was happening. The plugin was applying a filter to the content
rather than creating a shortcode. I added filters in functions .php for tribe_events_before_html
and tribe_events_after_html, calling the appropriate function.
* All is displaying as it should now. 🙂
