 * I have a brand new WP site at the latest version with only Akismet and Bestwebsoft’s
   Captcha plugins. Using Twenty Seventeen theme.
 * The plugin installed and activated OK and I can see/edit the 2 demo forms but
   I cannot get them to work.
 * I entered [ewz_show_webform identifier=”example”] into the new Home page but 
   that page just shows the shortcode, not the form. Same for the “pair” demo form.

 * Stupid me, somehow the ‘ezw’ part of the short code, which I’m sure I c&p’d, 
   got changed to ‘ewz’
 * Apologies.

 * Thanks for letting me know — I was just in the process of suggesting various 
   checks.
