 * Hi there,
 * I’ve only just installed the plugin and created my first calculator so apologies
   if this is a simple issue. I’m using the Colibri theme and page builder and for
   some reason it doesn’t seem to recognise the shortcode provided through the plugin?
 * I was wondering if there is a way to see the full coding for the calculator produced
   which I could then copy into my site?
 * Thanks,
    James

   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@jamesradcliffe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesradcliffe/)
 * In this case, you simply should to insert a text block with the shortcode as 
   its content. For example, assuming your form’s id is 1, the shortcode to enter
   would be:
 *     ```
       [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="1"]
       ```
   
 * For additional questions, please, send me the URL to the page where the shortcode
   was inserted.
 * Best regards.

 * Unfortunately that still just displays the text itself instead of the form. I’ll
   insert the shortcode in my homepage for now so you can see it there.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi [@codepeople](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codepeople/),
 * Yeah I’m not entirely sure what happened but I also just noticed this myself,
   may have just taken a while to load?
 * Either way thank you very much for your help and sorry to waste your time.
 * Many thanks,
    James
