 * Hi [@ervaibhav_81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ervaibhav_81/)
 * I just saw the this thread now.
 * I’ve looked at the page, and it seem like the shortcode is not implemented correctly.
 * Are you using the shortcode block from wordpress?
 * In your page the shortcode is shown as text which is wrong, and not converted
   to code by wordpress.
 * Regards,
 * Dan.

 * Thanks for yuor response. I tried it multiple times. I am using Generate press
   theme. But the crossword puzzle is not working. Is there anyway we can check 
   it on screen sharing?

 * Hi [@ervaibhav_81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ervaibhav_81/)
 * I would recommend first to change the theme, and try putting the shortcode.
 * Some themes do not run shortcodes in pages. Give it a try and let me know.
 * Regards,
 * Dan.

 * Hi,
 * Have you tried with different theme?
 * I see on your website “inspect element” is disabled.
 * Can you please confirm if you did the above?

 * Hi,
 * I’ve tested the plugin with [https://wordpress.org/themes/generatepress/](https://wordpress.org/themes/generatepress/)
 * The crossword displays fine in post and pages.
 * It must be something wrong with your setup.
 * Please watch the demo video I did for the crossword.
 * Regards.

 * Your website does not have right click capability on the page, cannot inspect
   if the crossword is rendered on the front end.

 * The puzzle loads, but the scripts don’t. That’s an issue.
 * Have you tried to disable all other plugins?
 * Can you contact me at [developer@tuskcode.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-472/developer@tuskcode.com?output_format=md)?
