 * Shortcode [simplicity-likes] does not work!
    Not in php-files single/index.php
   with <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[simplicity-likes]’ ); ?> and not in the backend
   pages/post in text-input-section with [simplicity-likes]
 * Likes appear in posts at the bottom of the text.
 * This are my settings:
    Do you want us to add the like button to the end of your
   content: V
 * Add like button to these post types:
    post V page werk
 * Do you want to use our styling for likes: V
    Do you want to paint the heart in
   red when there is at least one like? V Your “Like” text. Default: Like Your “
   Dislike” text. Default: Undo Like

 * I am having the same problem. If I set it to automatically add likes to bottom
   of content, that works but the shortcut won’t work at all regardless of other
   settings. It just displays text. I am using the latest version of WordPress 4.6.1

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve graduated from college few days ago so I haven’t had the chance to take 
   a look at this problem. I’ll see what’s going on and get back to you with an 
   update and more details.
 * Cheers.

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve pushed an update and fixed the issue. The problem was when I was creating
   the action to add the shortcode, I’ve used this rs-likes instead of simplicity-
   likes, now, it doesn’t matter, both of those work.
 * Cheers.
