 * The shortcode accepts the following attributes:
    - age – _(int) _Age to test. Default [_default age_](https://agegate.io/docs/v3/cms-settings/restrictions/default-age)
    - title – _(string) _A message to display. Default: [_button labels_](https://agegate.io/docs/v3/cms-settings/messages/yes-no-sub-question)
    - type – _(string) _The method to validate age, one of _buttons, inputs _or 
      _selects._ Default: [_input type_](https://agegate.io/docs/v3/cms-settings/restrictions/validate-age-using)
    - poster – _(int|string) _An image ID or URL to display in the background. Default:
      _false_
 * I tried this option for a specific blogpage. Nothing happens in the age gate….
 * Do I need to enter other settings to make it work?
