# shortcode generating a looping link

 * I’ve created an Olimometer Campaign, set the Paypal information, played with 
   a few settings, then saved it and posted the following code into a new post:
 * [olimometer id=3]
 * When I view the post, all I see is a blank page that has the words “Olimometer
   2.52”, which just links to the same post. I’ve tried linking to the default “
   campaigns”, like id=1 and id=2, but I get the same results.
 * Here is my page – [http://www.galacticbattles.net/new/?p=2958](http://www.galacticbattles.net/new/?p=2958)
 * The only thing I can think of, is that I am possibly using the wrong version 
   of WordPress (WordPress 4.0.1)
 * Any ideas?

 * At first, I thought it had something to do with GD libraries not being installed,
   but the WordPress plugin tells me the following:
 * Diagnostics
    GD Extension: Installed PayPal Integration: OK.
 * I’ll create a phpinfo.php file on my webserver later just to make sure, but if
   that’s not the case, I’m stumped.

 * Do you see the Olimometer image on the settings page in the preview section?

 * I’ve found your error message:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettfbbox() in /home/galactic/public_html/
   new/wp-content/plugins/olimometer/thermometer.php on line 382
 * This means that your web server’s GD installation hasn’t been compiled with TTF(
   for TrueType Fonts) support.

 * Ok. Awesome. Thanks! I’ll see of I can fix this on the server side.
 * Yeah, the preview in the settings page don’t show the thermometer.

 * Was this ever resolved? I’m having the same exact issue with my Olimometer (www.
   cartersrun.org) on the homepage. Of course I’m not a developer so I didn’t understand
   the error message.

 * Same here. My $ amount won’t change when it’s set to ‘manual’.
    What can we do?
 * This is an awesome plugin and can’t find another like it.
