# Snippets within comments section

 * I installed the latest version for use in my comment section. When I edit a comment
   in the admin area I DO get the button to insert snippets. When I use the snipppet
   in the blog post itself it works fine. When I insert a snippet in a comment it
   just shows the shortcode. Should it work in (edited) comments or do I need to
   alter some code for it to work?
    When I paste the entire snippet code in a comment
   it does work. So it seems the shortcode has no reference to the snippets I created
   from a comment.
 * Thank you for any help!

 * Hi,
 * WordPress does not execute shortcodes in comments for security, other any commenter
   could trigger all kinds of functions by using shortcodes.
 * If you really want to use shortcodes in comment, there might be some plugin out
   there that enables that in WP though, so that would be the solution to look into.
 * Cheers,
    Johan
