Next Steps
Based on the test results above:
- If no shortcode variations produce form fields, the issue is likely with TEC Community Events plugin configuration or permissions
- If some variations work better than others, update the HVAC plugin to use the working variation
- Check the WordPress admin for TEC Community Events settings that might restrict form display
- Ensure the current user has proper permissions to create events
