# POST ShortCode: values are incorrectly placed

* When I use the POST ShortCode in a post, the value is not displayed in the text
where the ShortCode was placed.
* Instead, the value is inserted before the text of the respective DIV container.
* I use the “Page Builder by SiteOrigin” plugin to create the pages.

* Bump: I am seeing this issue too.
* I am using the shortcode in a child theme of Genesis Framework. In the attached
screenshot, “29” is the number of views of this post. Even though in the theme
file I have the shortcode directly after “Views:”, the actual count returned
by the shortcode shows up outside of the ‘p’ element that it should be in.

* I added a link to a ScreenShot to clarify my problem.
* The wrong placements I have marked in red, and the placements corresponding to
the positions of the shortcodes in the text green.

* The issue was solved, the fix will be available within ~2 days.
* If this is urgent, you can fix it manually:
– Open classes/WP_Piwik/Widget/Post.
php – Go to line 30: `echo isset($response[$this->parameter['key']])?$response[
$this->parameter['key']]:'not defined';` – Replace line 30 by: `$this-
>out(isset($response[$this->parameter['key']])?$response[$this->parameter['key']]:'
not defined');`

* Perfect! That manual fix works for me. Thanks for looking into this so quickly,
and for the awesome plugin!

* Thank you. Me too.
* For the sake of completeness, it would still be good that the number would be
formatted with the thousands separator.
