# Shortcode Attributes Not Working

 * I have been able to get the Events Archive page working great in grid view. I
   am now working on a new page (xxx/calendar) using the shortcode to display the
   events list, and am looking to use the same grid view.
 * I tried using the [event_listing] shortcode, and it works fine. I have one event
   that displays nicely.
 * Then I tried modifying it to [event_listing events_layout=”grid”]. When I do 
   this, my event disappears.
 * Then I tried modifying it to [event_listing search=”false”]. When I do this, 
   nothing happens – I still see the exact same display as [event_listing].
 * It seems that none of the attributes are working. Can you help me figure out 
   why?

 * Hello [@ria75](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ria75/),
 * It seems like that you have copied shortcode from somewhere and there is an encoding
   issue with the double quotes. Please remove the double quotes, add from your 
   keyboard and then see this issue.
 * Thank you for reaching us out. Let us know if the problem still persists.
 * Regards,

 * Thank you for spotting that! Retyping it in the text editor worked.
