 * Hi, I don’t know if you are still maintaining this brilliant plugin but I contact
   you in case you are able to help. I am trying to use your plugin’s upload/display
   shortcodes from within a Userpro plugin template file and none of the shortcodes
   are working. Even if I use do_shortcode.
    Your shortcodes only seem to work from
   standard post/pages. Is there a hack you can think of to use the shortcodes from
   another plugin’s directory? Many thanks

 * hi, sorry but i have no knowledge of this userpro package, so i suspect they 
   may be better able to offer a solution. have you asked them for suggestions on
   how to integrate 3rd party shortcodes ? this sounds like it is an issue they 
   may have with certain plugins and may be able to suggest a workaround or configuration
   setting that will help.

 * Thank you for your reply. Other plugins’ shortcodes seem to work fine within 
   Userpro so I thought there may be limitations with Work The Flow File Upload,
   that it only works as a shortcode in WP post and pages.
    For instance with echo
   do_shortcode the uploader displays but it does not work at all. Cheers
