 * Hello,
 * I am using multisite.
 * My main site and subsite is using same theme.
 * If I add this shortcode [wpch-currentdate] to subsite’s menu, it works.
 * But if I add same code to main site’s menu, it’s not working.
 * Where is the problem ?
 * Thank you

 * Hi onur2,
 * I tested this plugin on my local multisite and it is working correctly. Can you
   give me more details about this issue and we will find a way to resolve it.
 * What are the URLs of your main site and sub site?
    What do you see inside your
   main site? Does it print a shortcode as is? Where have you installed and activated
   the plugin? (please check if you activated plugin only on subsite with “Activate
   plugin” or have you activated plugin on main web site with “Network activate”
   option). Plugin should be activated on each web site where you want to use it.
 * Note: WordPress has a mechanism to force shortcode either to execute or to simply
   print out as a plain text. When I see web sites, that will help me figure out
   the possible issue. 🙂
 * All best,
    Milan

 * Hello,
 * I try 2 method.
 * Activating network
    Activating each sites.
 * There is nothing difference both.
 * My main site link is /
    My sub site link is /sometitle/
 * I paste the shortcode to subsite’s menu item title, and it’s working perfectly,
 * But If I paste the shortcode to main site’s menu item title, it’s not working.
   It’s printing shortcode as plain text.

 * Hi again onur2,
 * I tested my plugin again on WordPress multisite (both on main site and on subsite)
   and it is working the same if the templates are the same. I strongly believe 
   that the issue you are having is not related to plugin it self, but to your WordPress
   multisite setup or template.
 * Most of the templates forbid execution of shortcodes within a navigation. If 
   you want to investigate this issue further you can check if your template has
   do_shortcode() function inside navigation. This function allows WordPress to 
   execute shortcodes, you can try to add it to the template (if you are the author)
   or contact theme author to resolve this.
 * More information about shortcode executions can be found here: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/)
 * In any case, there is nothing pointing out to this being a plugin bug. Your next
   steps should be: 1) examining your template (or templates), 2) contacting template
   author and 3) experimenting with do_shortcode() function.
 * Hopefully, you will be able to resolve this issue and setup your web site as 
   you wish.
 * All best,
    Milan
