 * Do WordPress shortcodes work in LightWord?
 * I am mainly trying to get the [Twitter Embed](http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter/twitter-embeds/#embedding-with-a-shortcode)
   shortcode to work. I have disabled all my plugins, which I have read can cause
   problems, but this has had no effect.
 * I have also tested a number of other shortcodes from [http://en.support.wordpress.com/topic/shortcodes/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/topic/shortcodes/)
   and haven’t found one yet that does. I can only think that LightWord does not
   support them?
 * A definitive answer on this would be very much appreciated.

 * you are quoting WordPress.**com **shortcodes which will likely not be implemented
   in WordPress.**org **(which only has the default shortcodes `[gallery]` and `[
   caption]` ).

 * Right, that makes sense. Thank you.
 * I only came across shortcodes when googling for WP Twitter Embeds and getting
   this wordpress.com page ([http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter/twitter-embeds/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter/twitter-embeds/))
   rather than the appropriate wordpress.org page: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds](http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds)
 * However, I’m finding the whole WP Twitter Embed function very erratic itself 
   anyway—just displaying the URL a lot of the time. So, I’ve decided to just the
   HTML code Twitter itself provides instead: [https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets)
