 * HI there, I’m using your nice add-on for a long time, but I suddenly see that
   my pages don’t show the button anymore, just the short code as text : [dkpdf-
   button]​
 * Example on this page : [https://dolys.fr/forums/topic/check-list-de-nam1962-resolution-de-probleme/](https://dolys.fr/forums/topic/check-list-de-nam1962-resolution-de-probleme/)

 * Hi, I’m still stuck : shortcode doesn’t seem functional in BBpress anymore, I
   had it running perfectly until recently.

 * Hi nam1962,
 * Looks like DK PDF is not activated or not working for some reason.
 * can you please check if this is an issue related to BBPress?
    – create a new 
   standard post and add the shortcode there, check it the button appears or not.
 * Thanks,
    Emili

 * Hi nam1962,
 * I was talking about creating a regular post, like a blog post. but I’m not sure
   if this is possible with BBPress, I never used it.
 * Anyway, can you try to add the button in the PHP template? I mean something like
   this:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[dkpdf-button]'); ?>`
 * Thanks,
    Emili

 * Hi Emili,
    I did it in a BBPress topic as I don’t have posts, only topics 😉
 * DKpdf was perfectly functional until a couple of monthes ago.
 * I added you command in functions.php of both the theme & the child theme with
   no success… it just adds the button text in the header (not at the end of the
   post where I placed it) & no possible action on this very text.
 * I have to remove the command, then.
