 * Hello,
 * I’ve got a problem with the shortcode and i can’t figure what happen.
    I made
   the shortcode, put it in the page and it worked fine but after some time the 
   shortcode is totally broken even if i don’t go in the settings of the plugin 
   and i need to reconfigure all the options again.
 * My shortcode is :
 * [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”/uploads/manuscrits” fitmode=”responsive” 
   uploadpatterns=”*.pdf, *.doc, *.docx” maxsize=”10″ duplicatespolicy=”maintain
   both” uniquepattern=”datetimestamp” placements=”userdata+userdata/selectbutton/
   uploadbutton/filename/progressbar/message” uploadtitle=”Envoyer des fichiers”
   selectbutton=”Sélectionner un fichier” uploadbutton=”Envoyer” successmessage=”
   Le fichier %filename% a bien été envoyé” warningmessage=”Le fichier %filename%
   a bien été envoyé, mais avec des avertissements” errormessage=”Le fichier %filename%
   n’a bien été envoyé” waitmessage=”le fichier %filename% est en cours d’envoi”
   requiredlabel=”*” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”xxxx@gmail.com” notifysubject
   =”Manuscrit envoyé depuis le site” notifymessage=”Bonjour,%n%%n%Un nouveau manuscrit
   a été envoyé depuis le site par :%n%%n%%userdata1% %userdata2%%n%%userdata3%%
   n%%n%Message :%n%%n%%userdata4%%n%%n%Retrouvez le fichier en pièce jointe de 
   ce mail.%n%%n%Bonne journée,” attachfile=”true” successmessagecolor=””#ffffff””
   successmessagecolors=””#ffffff,,#ffffff””” warningmessagecolors=””#dd9933,,#ffffff”””
   failmessagecolors=””#dd3333,,#ffffff””” waitmessagecolors=””#ffffff,,#ffffff”””
   widths=”filename:400px, userdata:200px” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Prénom
   |t:text|s:top|r:1|a:0|p:right|d:/Nom|t:text|s:top|r:1|a:0|p:right|d:/Email|t:
   email|s:top|r:1|a:0|v:1|p:right|d:|g:0″ userdatalabel2=”Parlez-nous de vous|t:
   multitext|s:top|r:1|p:right”]
 * But after a while it broke itself and changed to :
 * [wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=””/uploads/manuscrits”” fitmode=””responsive””
   uploadpatterns=””*.pdf,” maxsize=””10″” duplicatespolicy=””maintain” uniquepattern
   =””datetimestamp”” placements=””userdata+userdata/selectbutton/uploadbutton/filename/
   progressbar/message”” uploadtitle=””Envoyer” selectbutton=””Sélectionner” uploadbutton
   =””Envoyer”” successmessage=””Le” warningmessage=””Le” errormessage=””Le” waitmessage
   =””le” requiredlabel=””*”” notify=””true”” notifyrecipients=””marcopierrard@gmail.
   com”” notifysubject=””Manuscrit” notifymessage=””Bonjour,%n%%n%Un” attachfile
   =””true”” successmessagecolor=”””#ffffff””” successmessagecolors=”””#ffffff,,#
   ffffff”””” warningmessagecolors=”””#dd9933,,#ffffff”””” failmessagecolors=”””#
   dd3333,,#ffffff”””” waitmessagecolors=”””#ffffff,,#ffffff”””” widths=””filename:
   400px,” userdata=””true”” userdatalabel=””Prénom|t:text|s:top|r:1|a:0|p:right
   |d:/Nom|t:text|s:top|r:1|a:0|p:right|d:/Email|t:email|s:top|r:1|a:0|v:1|p:right
   |d:|g:0″”]
 * With lots of “” added everywhere in the shortcode and the options fields of the
   plugin.
    Is there something wrong like a character i should not be using in the
   fields ?
 * Thank you
 * Marco

 * Hi Marco, are you using any Page Builder for editing pages?

 * Hello,
 * Yes i’m using the Divi builder include in the Divi Theme.
    Are your plugin not
   working with page builder ?
 * I’ve disable the builder for the page and it seems ti work now but i would prefer
   to use it inside the builder.
 * Thank you

 * Hi, you are right, they should be compatible, however every page builder uses
   its own way to edit pages which overrides the standard WordPress procedure. So,
   this creates problems with plugins that need to edit their shortcodes.
