 * Hi [teamtaheny1@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-catablog-add-shortcode-to-description/teamtaheny1@gmail.com?output_format=md),
   have you read this [link ](http://catablog.illproductions.com/documentation/customizing-catalog-options/),
   pay attention to the description tab information.
 * Also just to be consistent, have you enable the following under WordPress Admin
   panel >> CataBlog >> Description >> Enable WordPress Filters ?
 * Also the code above has an extra bracket, the code should be as follow
    `[gview
   file="http://www.inserturlhere.pdf"]`
 * I hope this helps you. If you have any more questions please let me know.
 * Kind regards

 * We have been using catablog for a few years, mbrsolution is correct, you need
   to enable the WordPress Filters or the Options, Descriptions tab.
 * We have set up half a dozen sites in the past and got burned on a new one today.
   Could not remember what we needed to do to get the shortcodes to work.
 * This is an outstanding product!
