 * Hey there,
 * That doesn’t sound like a bug but a limit in the value field in the database.
 * 5000 characters sounds like a lot for a single option field in my plugin.
 * The best thing would be to create your own shortcode with the data and just place
   the shortcode in there instead.
 * All the best

 * I know, but sometime we have a problem with shortcodes…
    If the problem is a 
   limit setting on the database, you have to change the limit about the “Additional
   Content” field on the plug-in.
 * Let me know when this limit is eliminate.

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve just checked the `wp_options` table and they indeed have a `LONGTEXT` type
   for the value field of each option so I will do some testing with changing the
   type before releasing for the next version.
 * Unfortunately, that will not help you going forward as your database has already
   been created, but can you try manually changing the database column type to `
   LONGTEXT` and let me know if you get any issues?
 * If you have a problem with shortcodes then that is a separate issue that you 
   need to solve, as any shortcode is accepted by my plugin in that area for this
   exact reason.
 * Please let me know if it works for you after updating the column field type.
 * Peter

 * The column “**menu_additional_content**” (about table “wpbu_responsive_menu_pro”)
   has this value setted: **VARCHAR(5000)**.
 * Probably is this limit to change, but i try to change it without succed, I try
   with this command:
 * “_ALTER TABLE wpbu\_responsive\_menu\_pro MODIFY menu\_additional\_content VARCHAR(
   100000);_”
 * but I get this SQL message:
 *  “_#1054 – Unknow colum ‘menu\_additional\_content’ in ‘wpbu\_responsive\_menu\
   _pro’_“.

 * Hey there,
 * You are trying to change a column called `menu_additional_content` which doesn’t
   exist. The column is called `value`.
 * It says in the error message `Unknown column`, which is your clue. You can’t 
   change a columns field type per field, you need to change it for the whole column.
 * Also, as per my previous message, change it to a `LONGTEXT` type instead to match
   WordPress `wp_options` table.
 * All the best
 * Peter

 * Hey there,
 * There is no step by step instructions.
 * This is not a plugin issue but a MySQL database issue as such I would ask your
   DBA ir failing that your webhost and finally search on Google (that is all I 
   would be doing for you anyway.
 * All the best
