 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to use a shortcode ([wpsbc id=”1″ title=”yes” legend=”yes” legend_position
   =”side” language=”auto”]) but is not working. In the frontend I only see the 
   shortcode text.
 * Tried to update WordPress and plugins, disable plugins, switched to default theme,
   nothing helped.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-not-working-441%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Edit: I noticed there was a problem with the “, but even replacing with the good
   ones doesn’t fix the issue

 * Hey [@kove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kove/) ,
 * Make sure all the quotes are standard quotes and not special curly ones.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [wpsbc id="1" title="yes" legend="yes" legend_position="side" language="auto"]
       ```

 * Hi, I’ve used your shortcode, but I’m still having the problem, as you can see
   in the homepage (bottom)

 * Hmm, this is strange. What block did you add the shortcode in? Can you try adding
   it in a WYSIWYG or a “shortcode” block?

 * hi, it is already in a shortcode block. I just remembered that I tried to install
   another booking plugin before, I don’t know if it may help. Screenshot of your
   shortcode attached

 * It’s not working because you have the WP Booking System plugin installed 🙂

 * It’s a different shortcode:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [wpbs id="1" title="yes/no" legend="yes/no" language="auto" form_id="1"]
       ```

 * Yes, sorry, the two were similar and the name was similar. My bad.
