 * Being that your website is currently down, I wanted to make this post so we don’t
   forget.
 * If any user wants to use a shortcode in their article post type, they won’t be
   able to unless you change
 *  `$content = get_the_content();`
 * to
 *  `$content = do_shortcode( get_the_content() );`
 * We wanted to feed media to our homepage and had to make the change. Hopefully
   your next update fixes that so our work doesn’t get overwritten. Thanks!

 * Where are you making this change, please? And do you mean, that the shortcode
   on an Article page isn’t working (not displaying content)? This is the case for
   me.

 * [@welswebmaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/welswebmaster/) — in the
   plugin’s code. Do you need the specific file name?

 * Checkout the dev version here – [https://github.com/issuem/issuem](https://github.com/issuem/issuem)
 * We’re running get_the_content() through WordPress’s the_content filter, which
   should pick up those shortcodes.
