 * Hi,
 * I’ve been reading a previous thread ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-added-in-tailor-not-displaying-e-g-iframe/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-added-in-tailor-not-displaying-e-g-iframe/))
   about Tailor’s support of shortcodes. In it, you suggested the Shortcodes Ultimate
   plugin worked fine for you.
 * On my install, it doesn’t. Clicking the ‘add shortcode’ button in TinyMCE does
   nothing. In addition, shortcodes I’ve added manually in the WordPress Editor 
   are not being parsed. Is the handling of shortcodes in Tailor something that’s
   being looked into? I really like Tailor and it would be a shame for me to have
   to not use it because of this.
 * Many thanks!

 * Hi [@mattfm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattfm/),
 * Just recorded a quick screencast to demo Shortcode Ultimate use with Tailor.

 * Some important points to make clear:
    * Insert shortcode button won’t work from
   the content editor in Tailor. You may either insert the shortcode via WP editor
   as demonstrated in the video or copy and paste the shortcode in the Tailor content
   element. * In Tailor app, the output of short code may not work well, but that
   will be perfect on the front end.
 * Please let me know this works for you this way?
