 * How can I use a shortcodes generated by an installed plugin with client-dash?
   Doesn’t seem to work out of the box.
 * Specifically, I am trying to utilize shortcodes generated by the “Gravity Forms
   Directory & Addons” plugin.

 * Thanks for asking! Could you please describe a little more what you are trying
   to do? You’re trying to use a Gravity Forms form in the WP dashboard somewhere?
   Or in a dashboard widget? I’m not familiar with this particular addon or what
   it does but am more than happy to help you along with this. I’m intrigued and
   curious. I think with a little more detail about what you want to occur, we’ll
   be able to walk you through it.
 * Thanks again!

 * The plugin add-on displays the input results from Gravity Forms in a table on
   a front-end page. It does this with a shortcode.

 * So I’m assuming that you would like to be able to display Gravity Forms submissions
   within the dashboard on one of the Client Dash pages? What a cool idea!
 * This shouldn’t be very hard to do, but may require an additional, simple plugin.
   Would you like us to walk you through the steps of making a Client Dash extension
   which does this or would you prefer that we attempt to develop a solution and
   notify you when we complete it? I’m interested in doing this, it just may take
   me a little time.
