 * Dear HFCM Team,
 * This may be a stupid question, but do I have to embed the code shortcode manually
   on the pages, or does it do it automatically for all the pages specified if the
   snippets are turned “on”? Is the shortcode only for pages I didn’t specify?
 * Thanks So Much!
    Vincent

 * Hello [@vincentturner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vincentturner/) – 
   Thank you for contacting support. The shortcode will have to be entered manually.
   You can track the Status of the snippet (active or inactive) and edit its code
   from the HFCM plugin. It will only be used on the pages/posts/templates/CPTs 
   you apply the shortcode to.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Dear 99robotsteam,
 * So just to be certain, if I make the snippet apply to “All Pages”, I still have
   to manually insert the shortcode to each page of my website?
 * Thanks So Much,
    Vincent

 * Hello [@vincentturner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vincentturner/) – 
   To use the shortcode – Please select the **Shortcode Only** option in the **Site
   Display** dropdown.
 * There will not be an option to apply to all pages as the shortcode will need 
   you to manually enter the code where required.
 * Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
 * Thank you,

 * Vincent – To further clarify, you do NOT need to install the snippet on every
   page of your website if you use the All Pages option.
 * However, if you had a use case where you wanted to manually insert the snippet
   to a specific page/post/whatever, then you could use the shortcode option in 
   which case it’s up to you to manually place that shortcode.
 * Hope that clarifies.
