Doesn’t work

Tried to insert shortcodes into Blocks and Contact Form 7 (have shortcode enable installed). Nothing shows up anywhere. Zippo, nada.

No support

I am waiting for a support answer, but do not receive any. So how on earth can anyone recommend the company, software or anything from MEKS? This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by Si
