 * Hi.
    The button insert the form does not do anything. I can click the button,
   but nothing happens.
 * It’s a shame, as it was a potentially useful plugin.
 * Thanks
 * Neil.

 * Do you have the latest version? Version 2.2.7 or 2.2.8 should work fine.
 * Also, it might be that your cursor was not in the textea when you hit the “Add
   Registration Form” button. Then it will not insert the button.
 * Otherwise, do you see an error in the console of your inspector?

 * Dear Marcel,
 * I am having the exact problem as Neiljmac.
    Which is indeed a shame because the
   plugin is awesome if it would work.
 * When I press the “insert the form” I see in the following in the url after my
   website name:
    wp-content/plugins/simplr-registration-form/simplr_reg_options.
   php?null=1#
 * The “null=1#” makes me think that maybe you forgot to add the link to the insert
   the form?
    have a # there instead? Just a wild guess….
 * I do have the latest version and i made sure the cursor was not in the texterea.
 * Would love to get the plugin up and running

 * Hmm, not sure about that link. I will take a look a it.
 * BTW, make sure the cursor is in the textarea.
    I think it would be something 
   to fix as well.

 * Thank you for the quick reply!!!!
    I tried both with the cursor in and out the
   textarea. Both didn’t work.
 * Right now I am using the shortcode I found someone mention and that seems to 
   work 🙂

 * Ok, great.
 * Can you tell me what browser you use?
    For me in Firefox it works.

 * Hi, I have tested again, but it really works with Chrome as well.
 * After reading your post again I think there is a JavaScript error in your website.
   That is why when you click the first button, you go to the url:
    wp-content/plugins/
   simplr-registration-form/simplr_reg_options.php?null=1# If JavaScript would work,
   you would stay on the edit page and get a modal.
 * Can you check what is in the console of your Inspector? You can right-click with
   your mouse, and select Inspect Element. Then select the tab for the Console. 
   Go to the edit page. I expect that you already see an error then.

 * I have the same problem and this is the error I get when I do what you said. 
   Please, help, man. Your plugin looks so easy, I just need to get that part to
   work.

 * Hi,
    This bug happens when the Visual Editor is not active. Version 2.2.9 checks
   for this and adds it to the normal textarea.
