Title: [Plugin: Shortcode Generator] Admin Pages Broken, Doesn't Save Shortcodes Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Shortcode Generator] Admin Pages Broken, Doesn't Save Shortcodes * [jrhall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrhall/) * (@jrhall) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-shortcode-generator-admin-pages-broken-doesnt-save-shortcodes/) * **Admin Pages** Admin pages had to be fixed. PHP code for generated links inserts constants into URL incorrectly. In order to fix, replace: * `` * With: * `` * **Doesn’t Save Shortcodes** I have no idea what’s going on here. I don’t know enough PHP to feel competent diagnosing this issue. * It’s a great concept, but it doesn’t work. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortcode-generator/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortcode-generator/) Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * [tribis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tribis/) * (@tribis) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-shortcode-generator-admin-pages-broken-doesnt-save-shortcodes/#post-2343660) * The reason why shortcodes are not saved, is because, due to a bug, the shortcode table is not created when the plugin is activated. I have pulished a fix on my blog yesterday: [http://www.eaktion.com/blog/2011/11/28/wordpress-plugin-shortcode-generator-not-saving-shortcodes/](http://www.eaktion.com/blog/2011/11/28/wordpress-plugin-shortcode-generator-not-saving-shortcodes/) * In short, the fix boils down to changing the definition of the “type” column inside the shortcode table to be varchar (8) instead of varchar(255). Please, see the blog post for detailed explanation and step by step instruction. /paolo Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Shortcode Generator] Admin Pages Broken, Doesn't Save Shortcodes’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/shortcode-generator.svg) * [Shortcode Generator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-generator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-generator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortcode-generator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortcode-generator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortcode-generator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortcode-generator/reviews/) * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [tribis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tribis/) * Last activity: [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-shortcode-generator-admin-pages-broken-doesnt-save-shortcodes/#post-2343660) * Status: not resolved
