 * Hi there,
 * I wanted to display the shop messages with your plugin and it didn’t work. Out
   of shere frustration I tried to change the shortcode.
 * It seems that [woocommerce_shop_messages] is not working at all while [woocommerce_messages]
   is.
 * Please change this accordingly to spare others the headache I got.
 * Thanks

 * `[woocommerce_messages]` is for old versions of WooCommerce!

 * I believe you. I just wanted to bring on record what happened to me. If it works
   for everyone else – fine.
 * It is a free plugin and you are the author. So you have to decide what to do 
   with the information I offered. I offered it not to complain but to support you!

 * Cool, but at the WooCommerce code should work the two shortcodes, so it’s all
   right 🙂

 * Yup I can confirm as of right now on a new site Im currently building, that the
   woocommerce_shop_messages shortcode does not work for me, but woocommerce_messages
   does.
 * I’m glad I found this thread. The woocommerce docs don’t even include this in
   the list of “included shortcodes.”
 * Using a brand new install of wordpress, woo canvas theme, woocommerce & woocommerce
   shortcodes. All fresh downloads about a week ago.
 * Just FYI as the ladder works fine.
