 * Hi!
    Shortcodes do not work. They are entered in the page editor like: [wppizza
   type = ‘add_item_to_cart_button’ id = ‘888’] Any idea?
 * Thanks for you precious time!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-do-not-work-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * First of all, I must admit I ‘m a it puzzled why you would need an extra button
   when it’s already there by default
    i.e the prizes themselves are essentially
   buttons and – by default(unless turned off) – under each price there’s a cart
   icon and the size name you could style whichever way you like to make them appear
   more like buttons.
 * However, that’s more of an observation than a judgement. You can of course do
   as you please.
 * Back to the issue at hand:
 * By default wppizza post content does not execute shortcodes. If you need that,
   you have to enable it in
    `WPPizza->Layout->General: Shortodes in menu items 
   content`
 * (It would be my guess that this is the problem, but let me know if this does 
   not solve the issue of course)

 * PS: dont forget to clear the cache of the caching plugin you are using after 
   you changed that setting

 * Thanks a lot!
    The website is not built by me. After some updates, it did not
   work anymore. I just have to fix it (and eventually bring some improvements to
   it). I guess they wanted a richer menu without the possibility of ordering and
   another menu (simplified) just for delivery with the add to cart button. I just
   guess 🙂
 * Now it works.
    Thank you again!
