 * Hello!
 * I’m developing a custom theme and I wish to use Your shortcode in do_shortcode
   action, which unfortunately doesn’t work. It doesn’t seem to be a theme specific
   bug because I tested it with twentyfifteen and twentythirteen and encountered
   exactly the same problem.
 * The shortcode placed directly in post or page in editor works fine.
    I’m using
   WP 4.3.1.
 * Any ideas?
 * EDIT: if I copy the shortcode to echo do_shortcode(”) action, it displays nothing,
   not even the shortcode itself and it doesn’t add any html markup.
 * Best,
    Andri

 * The plugin is designed to be loaded on single page or post view.
    Kindly check
   if you are using the do_shortcode on archive or similar page,
