 * Hy there!
 * I developed a little addition to my site:
    I wanted to share blogposts with buttons
   which includes my subscribers userid and postid in UTM parameters, so this way
   i can track perforance. I added a little code to my functions.php to get shortcodes
   get those informations (userid, postid), after that i could insert these shortcodes
   behind a buttons.
 * Everything worked fine.
 * After updating 2.9.9 to 2.10.12 this function totally breaks.
    The shortcodes
   still working, if i insert them to a simple Shortcode widget, it’s okay. But 
   behind the buttons they don’ working anymore.
 * Now i rolled back to 2.9.9. so it’s working again, but i need a fix for this.

 * Support answered: Do not use the shortcode as link anymore, use the built-in 
   shortcode after clicking dynamic options at button/link
