Title: Plugin doesn’t work Last modified: April 30, 2018 --- # Plugin doesn’t work * Resolved [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/) * I’ve activated plugin. I’ve made my gdoc spreadsheet public on web. I’ve posted[ gdoc] shortcode with key as a link to editing spreadsheet in a page in my WordPress. * But it shows just text of shortcode. It is not processed at all. * What am I doing wrong? Wy nobody else faced this problem before? I am shocked. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-doesnt-work-205%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Author [Meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) * (@meitar) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10232559) * > I’ve activated plugin. * It doesn’t sound like this is true. `¯\_(ツ)_/¯` * Thread Starter [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10232914) * I hope this proves I’ve done all necessary steps. * Plugin is activated: [https://postimg.cc/image/r8dd3usef/](https://postimg.cc/image/r8dd3usef/) * Shortcode inserted: [https://postimg.cc/image/osbjprxef/](https://postimg.cc/image/osbjprxef/) * Thread Starter [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233133) * Seriously, am I the only one among people who have tried tihs plugin that didn’t even see any result at all? I get the same result as if I just literally posted link into my page/post. What is going on? Why is this plugin not working for me? Why am I the only one? * Plugin Author [Meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) * (@meitar) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233134) * That all looks fine but if the issue is that WordPress is not activating the plugin’s shortcode then you are dealing with a WordPress problem (and a major one, at that), not a problem with this plugin. No one else is experiencing this problem and so you need to troubleshoot your WordPress installation. I suggest the general support forum. Good luck. * Thread Starter [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233139) * Ok, I’ll look into it.

You’ve got a technical problem with your WordPress install, not with this plugin. That fact is not going to change even if I put a smiley at the end of the sentence. If you don’t like my attitude, you could seek help from someone other than me. 🙂 * Thread Starter [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233217) * You can at least not tell me how to act. And as a supporter you shouldn’t tell me that I won’t get any help rather than what you’ve already told me. If you don’t like it you could give help to someone other than me. * Plugin Author [Meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) * (@meitar) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233233) * > you could give help to someone other than me. * 🙂 Good idea. I’ll no longer reply to anything you post. Thanks for the advice. * Thread Starter [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233243) * Be my guest. * I will make this “resolved” as soon as I realise that you were right about my WordPress malfunctioning or if the issue is about the plugin and I get solution here. Please don’t change it till then. * Thread Starter [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233272) * Yes, you were right. The problem was about not processing shortcodes at all. In detail: I used get_the_content() instead of apply_filters(‘the_content’,$wp_query- >post->post_content) * So, thanks for the hint. Even despite of you being a dick. * Plugin Author [Meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) * (@meitar) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233283) * So, you caused the problem yourself, apparently. You asked for my help. You wouldn’t believe me when I gave you the correct answer, for free, from my own time, for a tool I offered for free. And then you call _me_ a dick. I think you owe me an apology and could make the world better by reconsidering your past behavior and changing your behavior in the future. * Thread Starter [ozzy1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozzy1986/) * (@ozzy1986) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233298) * Why do you think I did not believe you? I literally told you that I would look into it. Which I did. And posted the results of my research in case someone else will face same problem trying your plugin. And your attitude from the very beginning was like “well, i don’t know, it’s your problem, good luck”. * I think reconsidering past behavior is what we both could do to make the world better:) Good luck. * Plugin Author [Meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) * (@meitar) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233310) * Welp, I should have just stuck to your advice of never responding to anything you post. I won’t make that mistake ever again. 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) The topic ‘Plugin doesn’t work’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer. svg) * [Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/reviews/) * 15 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) * Last activity: [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-205/#post-10233310) * Status: resolved
