# Using Shortcode with custom post type

 * I have a custom post type ‘recipes’ and `<?php do_shortcode('[reviews]'); ?>`
   works great in the single posts but does not work in my posts index loop. I see
   the elements are there and I have a count in the number of reviews but the background
   images for .author-rating are not showing up. Is this typical behavior or am 
   I missing something?

 * The CSS has been improved to have less conflicts with other theme/plugins. Give
   the new version a try and see if that fixes it?
 * Thank you.
