# Short Code Generator problems

 * Something odd has happened to WPPA+. (Version 7.7.06.007)
    Normally I don’t touch
   it because once set up, it just works. However, I needed to add a photo to a 
   page & discovered that it no longer works. When I select the Short Code Generator
   the dialog box appears but is unusable. Whatever I click on has no response. 
   Also I’m unable to close the dialog box – no buttons work. The only way out is
   to reload the page. The same thing occurs with the ‘insert photo’ option I have
   reinstalled the plugin but it makes no difference. Any suggestions?

 * In addition to the above I’ve just tested it on another website & although there
   are differences it still doesn’t work.
    On this second site if I select (on Edit
   page) ‘shortcode generator’ the ‘Insert Gallery’ dialog box appears & all boxes
   are reponsive but when attempting to select a photo (The Photo to be used) instead
   of taking me to the photos stored in Media – it displays numerous copies of an
   album name, ‘Photo of the day’ & ‘The most recently uploade photo’. Help!

 * Running ‘Site Health’ I have the error message: ‘The scheduled event, wppa_cleanup,
   failed to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts

 * Are you using the standard gutenberg block editor, or do you use a plugin to 
   use the classic editor, and, if so, which plugin.

 * Hi

 * I remember i had some problems with that some time ago but i can not reproduce
   it now. Try [https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/)
   the Classic Editor plugin instead, this is the one i use without any issues.
   
   Is your wp and wppa up-to-date?

 * Hi
    Have deactivated ‘Disable Gutenberg’ & installed ‘Classic editor’. In Editor
   the WPPA+ ‘Insert photo’ the ‘Plase Select Photo’ doesn’t show photos from ‘Media’.
   It shows nine intances of (War Memorials) – one of my pages. Short code generator
   on the ‘Please select photo’ does the same although it also lists: ‘Photo of 
   the day’ & ‘Most recently uploaded photo’

 * OK, I think it’s solved. After removing ‘Disable Gutenberg’ & installing ‘Classic
   editor’ everything went on go slow for a while but now it seems to be OK.
    Still
   testing but looking good so far. Thanks for you help.
