 * Hi
 * I have a serious problem to work with shortcode. I checked my code many times
   but I don’t know why I can’t see the output of my plugin. In main file of my 
   plugin, I use following code to add shortcode to wordpress:
 *     ```
       function image_label_maker_makeshortcode() {
         ob_start();
         image_label_maker_apply();
          html_form_code();
         return ob_get_clean();
       }
       add_shortcode('image_label_maker_form','image_label_maker_makeshortcode');
       ```
   
 * ——————————————–
    html_form_code is the input form for the plugin and image_label_maker_apply
   function checks and processes sending values from the input form. I use Twenty
   Sixteen theme and I think it is an issue that is related to theme, because other
   shortcode such as gallery does not work. If you know what is the problem, please
   guide me.
 * Thanks

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.
