 * Hello,
 * I am seeking to convert to the new shortcodes, but am confused as to how this
   one should translate.
 * %%wppa%% %%slide=#lasten%% %%size=auto%% %%align=center%%
 * On the Script to Shortcode conversion page I cannot find reference to lasten 
   or how to use it
 * Can you assist?
 * Thanks

 * There is now also a conversion tool on [http://wppa.nl/nl/changelog/script-to-shortcode-conversion/](http://wppa.nl/nl/changelog/script-to-shortcode-conversion/)

 * Is there a way to use the conversion tool to convert multiple posts at once?
   
   It would take a while to convert my ~100 Posts using the old Wppa-script manually.

 * If you update to the latest development version ( see: [http://wppa.nl/nl/docs-by-subject/development-version/](http://wppa.nl/nl/docs-by-subject/development-version/)),
   or next week to the next version (6.5.03), you will have the conversion tool 
   also in the message box with the list of posts/pages, so on the same page as 
   the post. Makes it a lot easier.
 * It will take a few months before 6.6.0 will be released and the %%wppa%% scripts
   will no longer be supported, so you have time enough.
 * In case you find the box annoying: If you dismiss the message now, and update
   next week, it will re-appear if there are still unconverted scripts.
 * So, don’t panic, take it easy…

 * I’ve updated all the %% stuff and it works fine.
    We have an album which displays
   the last 20 pics added to the website: %%album=#lasten%%
 * Any ideas on that?

 * Hi Jacob,
 * When completing the Script to Shortcode conversion I noticed the Search Results
   page had a script `%%wppa%%`
 * So I converted it to `[wppa][/wppa]`
 * Is that correct?
 * Thank you for improving this plugin!

 * Good question! It will work but it should preferrably be:
 *     ```
       [wppa type="landing"][/wppa]
       ```
   
 * The difference is that when you open the page other than as a result of a search
   operation, the correct version will show _nothing_ in stead of the entire ‘_generic_‘
   album.

 * Thank you Jacob. It has now been corrected.
 * Cheers!
