 * the auction is loaded ok, because when i go to shop and click on a listing, it
   shows the auction as a related product at the bottom. But I cant get it to appear
   in the shop or on the auction page.

 * Hi [@xlr8luxurylistings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xlr8luxurylistings/),
 * We have checked on your site and it looks like you were using the wrong shortcode.
 * We have mainly two auction plugins :
   i) Ultimate WordPress Auction Pluginii) 
   Ultimate Auction for WooCommerce
 * You are using the **Ultimate Auction for WooCommerce**
   plugin on your site and
   used the **Ultimate WordPress Auction** plugin’s shortcode hence it is not displayed
   any auction products.
 * If you want to display the auction products on the shop page
   Goto Admin dashboard
   > Auctions > Settings– Under ‘Shop page’– Enable the option ‘On Shop Page’
 * Same way, to display the expired auctions on the shop page
 * – Enable the option ‘Show Expired Auctions’
 * Please review the attachment – [https://pasteboard.co/G2ns0mqwRbon.jpg](https://pasteboard.co/G2ns0mqwRbon.jpg)
 * Many times, different hooks are used for the product page in the theme
   so switching
   to any other theme solves the issue.
 * If you are still facing any issues, please post your query [here](https://auctionplugin.net/contact-us/).
 * Thank You
