Shortcode Not working when added to template page

    I recently purchased the Pro version of the WTI Like Post plugin and in the manual they talk about a few shortcodes that can be used in post.

    I want to add the like/dislike buttons to my single page template and my main blog loop.

    I tried using <?php echo do_shortcode( '[wtilp_buttons]' ); ?> but the shortcode name is just output as a string. Is there something else I need to update before using the shortcode in this way?

    Thanks for any help.

    That shortcode [wtilp_buttons] is meant for placing the buttons inside page/post content. That means using the editor available on the admin. This is not a shortcode to be placed directly inside any theme file.

    If you want to use it inside any theme file, then can you please check by using the template tag <?php GetWtiLikePost()?> inside your file. Do let me know whether it worked or not.

    Thanks
