 * Hi there [@lear2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lear2000/) 👋🏽!
 * Thank you for reaching out to MailPoet Support!
 * > does the short code work in acf flexible content fields?
 * So when the the shortcode is shown it normally means that WordPress is processing
   it as a string of text.
 * I am not that familiar with ACF flexible content fields [but I see in this thread on their support forum](https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/shortcode-inside-flexible-field/)
   that there is no documentation on how to add shortcodes to that field type.
 * So the best next step would be to contact them and ask what’s the best way to
   add the shortcode on that field.
 * Cheers!

 * ACF just renders what is inside the content, so all shortcodes work, except mail
   poet.

 * Hi again [@lear2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lear2000/) 👋🏽
 * Please note that you will also need to “declare” the “Unsubscribe” page that 
   you want the shortcode to appear in under ‘MailPoet > Settings > Basics… tab’
   as [shown in this screenshot](https://d.pr/i/IrVBHd) and [explained in this tutorial](https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/221-customize-your-unsubscribe-page).
 * Can you please verify that you have added the page there too?
 * If you have added the page there I think that the issue is related to how the
   shortcode is added.
 * To discard this you can perform a [conflict test as explained here](https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/204-how-to-test-for-plugins-conflict)
 * I hope this helps!
 * Best

 * Hi there [@lear2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lear2000/) 👋🏽,
 * Sorry for the late reply.
 * Can you please share a screenshot of the Unsubscribe page settings under ‘MailPoet
   > Settings > Basics… tab’ as I have done in this screenshot? [https://d.pr/i/IrVBHd](https://d.pr/i/IrVBHd)
 * Could you also share a screenshot on how you are adding the [mailpoet_archive]
   shortcode and the [mailpoet_page] to that page?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi again,
 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
 * Cheers
