 * Hi,
 * is there some specific or security reason to remove Shortcode callback functions
   in new version 1.5.4?
 * 1.5.4
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Removed Shortcode callback feature
       ```
   
 * 1.5.3
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Removed Shortcode Files feature
       ```
   
 * Had to revert back to 1.5.2, it broke my whole site :).
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-callback%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks for reaching out, yes there is a problem with the latest release which
   I will be looking into ASAP.
 * The plugin was delisted from the plugin directory because of two security exploits
   with these features. Due to limited time and not knowing how popular these features
   were I decided to remove them in order to get the plugin reinstated.
 * Please consider supporting the continued development of the plugin through [sponsorship](https://github.com/sponsors/OpenGIS).
 * Cheers,
 * Joe

 * It’s worth mentioning that Waymark still has a global callback function which
   you can use to extend functionality. Details [here](https://www.waymark.dev/docs/using-the-global-callback-function/).
 * I hope this helps,
