 * Hi,
 * It looks very promising what this plugin could do, but I cannot get it to work.
   I installed and activated the plugin, but it doesn’t seem to recognize the shortcodes.
   Maybe it only works on a specific theme?

 * More than likely it is a theme issue. If the theme is not setup to filter content
   being displayed, then it will fail and display the shortcode instead of parsing
   it.
