 * 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
