# Shortcode will not work

 * I just installed this and created the connection exactly as in the documentation.
   
   When I add a post in the related posts meta box the related post shows up at 
   the bottom of my post as it should. However when I use the shortcode to add a
   related post in the content area it does not show up when I view the post. The
   shortcode is there and correct as far as I can tell, but it does not show in 
   the post. I’m using the 2015 theme and all plugins but post connector are disabled.

 * Hey,
 * Sorry for my delayed reply, didn’t get a notification about this for some reason.
 * Could you please paste the exact shortcode you’re using? Please also let me know
   what your connection slug is (this can be found when editing the connection).
 * Kind Regards,
 * Barry Kooij
