 * I want to add in the bio of the author a button with “ask me a question” so people
   can contact the author through our CRM. For that, I want to add a button and 
   modal shortcodes from my theme, Avada.
    But the shortcodes don’t work. They enter
   as plain text. What do I need to do?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finsert-shortcodes-from-my-theme%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
