Shortcode from another plugin on user profile tab not working

Alex,
Yes, that is exactly how I’m going about adding the shortcode for a user profile tab. I’ve tried more than one kind of shortcode from multiple plugins and none have been successfully added thus far. You can see the tab created, but the content won’t auto-populate. I’d have never hired a “recommended expert” had I been able to do that myself without problem. Your expert even went so far as to argue with me about what was being done and that there was a reason I couldn’t do it on my own – so he could charge me additional hours for custom work. I think he purposefully coded something into my site to prevent me from being able to do it on my own.

Additionally, I think there is some kind of conflict with the WP admin user profile section. Some screens work and other don’t. One minute tabs appear in a profile and other times it doesn’t. I don’t know how to fix it all but really wish someone who knows what they are doing could investigate the whole thing.

1. I go into the same screen that you included a picture of: UsersWP>Form Builder>Profile Tabs>Custom Fields>Shortcode

2. I click on the Shortcode button.

3. I change the tab name and select privacy options.

4. I paste the shortcode from the other plugin into the box that says, “Add shorcode here.”

In the case of the recipe plugin I’m using, I enter the URL of the page where the shortcode is being displayed ([my site name entered here].com/profile – which is the same default profile page assigned to UsersWP in my backend). I go back to look to check on the output and it isn’t there. Instead, I get a 404 page. (See all pics attached.)

I’ve been unsuccessful in adding a shortcode for the marketplace plugin I’m using which is what I hired your “expert” for. I am currently working on adding the Yith Wishlist plugin’s shortcode as well. I will know soon whether or not it worked, but suspect that just like the others, it won’t work either.

I attempted to upload the images for all, but the file sizes exceeded the limit. I’m trying to resize the pics now.

For the recipe plugin, it is WP Recipe Maker and the shortcode is [wprm-recipe-collections]. Here’s a link to the documentation: https://help.bootstrapped.ventures/article/152-displaying-the-recipe-collections-feature.

Out of curiosity, what shortcode would actually work there? I’ve attempted to enter at least 5 shortcodes from various plugins and none have worked. What’s the point of offering that feature if it doesn’t work as advertised. I initially wanted to use Youzer plugin instead of the UsersWP plugin for my site because it actually worked without issues but becuase it was slow and bulky and UsersWP worked with GeoDirectory, I chose your plugin instead. I am kind of feeling like I’ve wasted months of time and $700 on your plugins that have been a nightmare to set up. If your plugins require so much extra work and money to set them up then you should be up front about it. I didn’t have $700 to waste. It’s time and money I wish I could get back.
