# Shortcode rating not displaying, Called from function

 * I have an odd issue. The plugin works great in a normal circumstances but I have
   a function inside functions.php that produces a loop of posts that can be ajax
   filtered by clicking a checkbox. Inside that function I call the shortcode and
   I have tried all the options with the shortcode builder to get it to show the
   ratings in that loop called from the functions.php file but to no avail. 
   I thought
   it may be some timing issue so I pasted in one of the list codes to see if the
   plugin was actually triggering and those worked fine. I am not sure why the standard
   shortcode is not working even when I add the post id and the post type. Any help
   would be really appreciated.

 * It is possible that your code runs before the rating plugin is fully initialized,
   so it can’t process the shortcode.
