 * In the post editor, I click on the FA link and make my code selections, but then
   when I click on the “INSERT SHORTCODE” button, nothing happens. What should I
   try to do to solve this issue?

 * Well it’s working on my end. I just had it insert this for me:
 * [fileaway sub=”dfgdfsgdf” only=”gdfgfdgs” exclude=”dfgsdf” include=”fgsdfgfd”
   showto=”dfgsdf” hidefrom=”dfgsdf” heading=”fgsdfgdf” hcolor=”green” width=”gsdf”
   align=”right” size=”no” mod=”no” style=”silk” corners=”roundbottom” color=”blue”
   accent=”green” icons=”paperclip” iconcolor=”silver” display=”inline” nolinks=”
   true” debug=”on”]
 * So, please give me some details about your setup. What version of File Away, 
   what version of WordPress, etc.
 * Have you tried disabling other plugins to see if there’s a javascript conflict
   that’s causing this? If so, we can then troubleshoot.

 * Marking resolved on the assumption lack of response means problem no longer persists.
