 * Hello beautiful people.
 * For some reason the regular expression that was getting the shortcodes from the
   posts has changed and sometimes the `[facebook=url]` shortcode is not recognized
   this is **probably** caused by the preparations to move to the [new shortcode syntax](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/29/shortcode-roadmap-draft-two/)
   that is why on this update v2.0.4 the shortcode has changed to `[facebook url]`
   so you only need to remove the “=” sign from your posts.
 * I hope this solves all of our problems.
 * Have a good one and if you use this plugin do not forget to rate it. 🙂
