 * When I try to add my first chart to a page by clicking on the “Insert GF Chart”
   button in the Visual Editor, I get the shortcode. Then I go to view the page 
   and I still see the shortcode, not the chart:
 * > [gfchartsreports gf_form_id=”2″ type=”pie” color_set=”blue” color_rand=”false”
   > width=”40%” tooltip_style=”BOTH” position=”none”/]
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fno-chart-generated-shortcode-displayed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Larry,
 * Sorry for the delay, can you check the ” are correctly set ?
    It seems that `
   gf_form_id=”2″`
 * has two different types of quotes.
 * I will investigate and test more this
 * Thank you for your feedback

 * Hi,
 * I double-checked my shortcode and on the backend in the Text Editor it’s:
    `[
   gfchartsreports gf_form_id="2" type="pie" color_set="blue" color_rand="false"
   width="40%" tooltip_style="BOTH" position="none" /]`
 * However, when I do a “View Page” it is rendered as:
    `[gfchartsreports gf_form_id
   =”2″ type=”pie” color_set=”blue” color_rand=”false” width=”40%” tooltip_style
   =”BOTH” position=”none” /]’
 * with the different kinds of quotes you describe.
 * It’s not clear to me where the “transformation” is happening. Because when I 
   return to the page editor, I definitely see my original text with the proper 
   quotes.
 * However, I’m seeing this transformation problem even when the MaxiCharts plugin
   is disabled. So I will also be on the lookout for some other plugin that is interfering
   here. (I’m using the Avada theme which has been quite reliable, but it may also
   play a role.) I’ll let you know if I find the culprit.

 * Thanks for your feedback, i am going to double check that maxicharts is not playing
   a role here.
    Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the update.
 * When activating MaxiCharts v1.0.5, I get the following messages on the screen:
 * >  Notice: Constant PLUGIN_PATH already defined in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wpfiresidetheatre\
   > wp-content\plugins\maxicharts\mcharts_custom_criteria_plugin.php on line 7
   > Notice: Constant PLUGIN_PATH already defined in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wpfiresidetheatre\
   > wp-content\plugins\maxicharts\mcharts_table_plugin.php on line 6
   >  Skip to main
   > contentSkip to toolbar
   > The plugin generated 380 characters of unexpected output during activation.
   > If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds
   > or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.
 * The top two messages appear on every page.
 * I still do not see the MaxiCharts graph on our test page.
 * Thank you for your help with this. I’m afraid I’m going to have to let this go
   for now. I will be uninstalling the plugin and won’t be able to do more testing.

 * position=”none” is not a possible option by the way
 * The 2 notice messages appear on your web pages because you probably have the 
   WP option DEBUG_SHOW set to true in your wp-config.php, just set it to false 
   in order to prevent those message from appearing.
 * Else can you give me an access to your site so i can help you ? Use site’s contact
   form to send credentials
 * Cheers
