# Error when adding shortcode

 * Hello,
    I was using your plugin with UM 1.3.88 but suddenly my settings tab for
   UM in admin panel stopped working. Also the UM option to select which user is
   allowed to see menu items (in my primary menu) disappeared as well. That happened
   after I pasted some of the shortcodes inside the tabs. No new plugins were added.
   When I deactivate UM Profile Tabs I can see the settings in admin area again,
   but not the menu assign role options (in primary menu). Any suggestions?

 * Hello,
    The shortcodes are from your plugin (UM Profile Tabs): [pp-tabs field
   =meta_key]. But even if I delete them the problem is still there.

 * Hello, guys!
    I found the problem – when creating new tabs it is very important
   to use latin letters in the slug name. I had some tabs on cyrillic and that was
   the issue. When change them my settings are already available. Thank you!

 * Thank you [@povcharov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/povcharov/) for sharing
   the above problem and the workaround. I will take care of the issue in the next
   official release of the plugin.
 * Thanks !!
