Hello Gerry,
Thanks for your message. We just looked at the pages you linked, and the browser console shows various JavaScript errors from external resources, more precisely in a file called loader.js that is something outside your domain. This JavaScript error may be blocking your Theme from rendering the page properly, and so this could be the cause of the blank page /bikes-list.
Shortcodes are nothing complex, they are just a string inside a WordPress page or post. It’s up to WordPress to render the actual page, and if it contains a Shortcode of VikRentItems, contents will be automatically generated.
From the wp-admin section of VikRentItems you can create new Shortcodes manually of a specific type, like “Items List”, “Search Form”, “Order Details” etc.. and this minimum configuration of Shortcodes is recommended to allow the booking process and the routing functions. Once the Shortcodes have been created, they can be assigned to a unique WordPress page each. You can do so by clicking the button “Add to page” next to each Shortcode, or if you prefer, you can use the native WordPress editor (Gutenberg) to add new pages and to select the apposite “block” of type “VikRentItems – Shortcode”. This will automatically save a Shortcode in our plugin and assign it to a WordPress page/post ID.
Our plugin will automatically detect if a specific Shortcode is currently being used on a WordPress page/post ID. In this case you will be able to visit the front-end page from the back-end Shortcodes list in VikRentItems. This will indicate that a Shortcode is properly linked to a corresponding WordPress page.
However, the issue you’re currently facing may not be directly related to Shortcodes, because of the JavaScript errors displayed in the browser console in the pages you linked.
We hope this helps!
The VikWP Team
