 * Hey,
 * For some reason i can’t use shortcodes, or the pop-up window to choose the individual
   shortcode does not really work. I went with firebug over it and it say’s “Missing
   Argument 2 for add_action()”
 * Here’s a screenshot:

 * This is the dialog.php
 * _[ Code moderated. For more than [10 lines of code](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)
   please use [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/) instead. ]_
 * I don’t know anything about php or temaplates + i’m from germany 🙂
    Can somebody
   help me?

 * Will someone answer Bama22 question? Where is the support? I too am having this
   issue. Basically, none of the popup menus associated with shortcodes work with
   the latest version of Propulsion theme 1.3.1. Try using the shortcodes in BBPress.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress.

 * Yes, been done. As the previous poster stated, there is a bad call, “Missing 
   Argument 2 for add_action()” in display.php. This was added in the May 2 release.

 * The May release for what? A plugin? A theme?

 * Here’s line 33 of the dialog.php
    `add_action('avia_shortcode_dialog');`
