1 – Yes, I am sure to use the shortcode properly. When I installed the theme and demo, the homepage was returning a 500 error because of this specific shortcode.
2 – Here is the affiliates-shortcodes page on my site: http://truepokies.com/affiliates-shortcodes/
I didn’t make any changes but still the page is completely different from the one in the demo.
The version we use is: poka-theme-v2-r2.0.3
Note: We just installed the theme and demo, so the content is basically the one from the demo. We haven’t made many changes yet.
