    I’m trying to make a slider of Posts content. I’ve added WP post shortcode to the slides content area. I have checked the “Allow Shortcodes” option box. But the slides when viewed in a page only show the shortcode text. I use the Classic Editor. Here is one of the shortcodes I’m adding.

    [display-posts id="182" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y" image_size="medium" include_date="true" include_excerpt="true" post_type="post" category="news"]

    This shortcode seems to work for me.

    I tried inserting this shortcode into a test SA slider:
    See: https://i.imgur.com/PUBCQ6s.png
    [display-posts id=”1″ include_date=”true” date_format=”F j, Y” image_size=”medium” include_date=”true” include_excerpt=”true” post_type=”post” category=”Uncategorised”]
    (this post id ‘1’ is my ‘Hello World’ post that comes with a WP installation)

    And This is what I see on the front-end page:

    This shortcode does use the ‘Display Posts’ plugin – do you have this plugin installed:

    Also check the shortcode parameters – e.g. is the category correct.

    Thank you. It was the Display Posts plugin.
