It may be invalid or it is a bug of the plugin( then, please report it).” * Is this the intended use of the plug in? If so, why would pasting not work? thanks, Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [thom4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oncletom/) * (@oncletom) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-amazon-widgets-shortcodes-doesnt-recognise-amazon-html/#post-1155490) * Yep it is the intended use. * Could you copy/paste here the code you wanted to convert in shortcodes? * Thanks * Thread Starter [janieavis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janieavis/) * (@janieavis) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-amazon-widgets-shortcodes-doesnt-recognise-amazon-html/#post-1155564) * Hi!
