I'm having some difficulty getting Zen shortcodes to work (with Rasa 2, but generally with ZenGrid 4 templates). Perhaps I can ask some questions which, I hope, will lead me in the right direction:

1. Presumably I must enable Bootstrap in the Template manager. Does it matter whether I use Bootstrap 2 or 3, and which Bootstrap files are needed?

2. Will Zen shortcodes work with any editor, or does it have to be TinyMCE? (I am using JCE.)

3. Does one just enter the shortcodes in the normal editor window (i.e. not in the html code view of the window)? With my current setup most of the codes either get changed or they appear as they are in the article. Even when I look at the articles in the backend of, say, the Zero template demo, I do not see the shortcodes themselves; I see the actual styled content.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Bruce,

Having bootstrap enabled isn't required for the shortcodes plugin

Shortcodes plugin will work with any editor or no editor

What options do you have enabled in the plugin itself?

The syntax is parsed so it does render as html and styling

Depending on the settings to is possible to have a conflict between the plugin and the template on certain icons

Hi Paul

I am using standard options - nothing changed from what was installed.

Are you trying to add icons or column widths?
