Title: Shortcode not working Last modified: March 1, 2024 --- # Shortcode not working * Resolved [anajera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anajera/) * (@anajera) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-463/) * I am using WPcode free version. I try to add a shortcode within a specific page content but it does not show. This is the shortcode I get from the plugin: * [wpcode id=”1455″] * I paste it in the page but the code does not show. My site is made with Astra. Am I missing something? Are there other set up options to show the code in a specific page? * Thank you - This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by [anajera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anajera/).

The only reason I can think of for your shortcode not working is if your snippet is written in a way that prevents it to be executed 2 times and you are also auto-inserting it in the page. * Would it be possible to share more details about your snippet code/setup? Alternatively, you can reach out using the form at [https://wpcode.com/contact](https://wpcode.com/contact) if you want to share the details of the snippet privately.
