# Shortcode doesn’t display anything.

 * Pretty straightforward issue, and what’s holding me back from buying the pro 
   version. I have created a custom post type called “events” with 3 custom taxonomies,**
   all of which the plugin found**. I created the filter sets, ran through all the
   settings, went to add the shortcode… Nothing. Empty.
 * I reference this page: [https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/](https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/)
   
   Shortcodes I’ve tried:– `[fe_widget]`– `[fe_widget id = "217"]` (edit url says
   wp-admin/post.php?post=217&action=edit, so I figured maybe that was the ID)– `[
   fe_chips]`
 * None of them display anything, but interestingly enough, the chips shortcode 
   adds this, depending on if the ID is added:
 * `<ul class="wpc-filter-chips-list wpc-filter-chips-217-1 wpc-filter-chips-217
   wpc-empty-chips-container" data-set="217" data-setcount="217-1"> </ul>`
   OR`<ul
   class="wpc-filter-chips-list wpc-filter-chips--1 wpc-filter-chips- wpc-empty-
   chips-container" data-set data-setcount="-1"> </ul>`
 * But of course that’s blank too, so nothing displays on the front end. Any solutions?
 * This is a custom theme running on a local server, so its possible there’s an 
   issue there, but that seems unlikely to be the case given the issue.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi [@jforrester](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jforrester/)
 * Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
 * Perhaps this is the singular page where you are trying to display the filter 
   widget? Free version only working with archive pages. And since you have it on
   the localhost we do not have the ability to check the page with the issues to
   provide more information on the issue.
 * Best Regards – Victor
