# Short Code Embed not working

 * I have embedded a handful of stories into relevant posts, but they’re now not
   showing up. On the linked page, it is placed under the h-tag “See the steps in
   action:” but I’m not seeing it actually show up on desktop. I’ve tried disabling
   ads to see if that was the issue but it was not.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshort-code-embed-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

   Thanks a lot for your report!
 * We have received similar reports and are actively working on fixing [the issue](https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp/issues/9410).
   You can embed stories using the Latest Stories or Select Stories as an alternative.
 * I’ll be sure to follow up with any updates about the fix.

 * Hi Luckyna,
    Can you elaborate on the “Select Stories” embed feature? I have 
   just been grabbing the short code when publishing the story for the first time.

 * You can insert a Web Stories block with one of the other layout options. (Read

 * Hi Luckyna,
    I don’t use gutenberg, so when I go into visual editor and click
   on stories I only see the option to create somewhat of a feed of stories instead
   of embedding a specific story on a relevant post. can you please assist?

 * It sounds like you’re using the Classic Editor in which case the alternative 
   Stories block options wouldn’t be available. My apologies.
 * Good news is that we’re aiming to have this issue fixed in the upcoming release
   next week, so we will be sure to follow up soon!
