 * I’ve tried generating shortcodes with the Puzzle icon generator. I go thru all
   the steps but the Generate button is unresponsive… doesn’t hilite or gray out
   or do anything.
    Using on several sites and the generator doesn’t work on any
   of them. Am I doing something wrong?

 * Hi idekay,
 * It sounds like you have a javascript error most likely created by one of the 
   plugins you use on all of the sites with issues.
 * If you would like to send me access to one of the sites with issues, I will be
   happy to take a look, otherwise if you could post the message from the console
   that may tell us the issue.
 * To Access the console, see this link

 * Hello Idekay,
 * I think I found the issue. I have released a new version which should work better.
   Please upgrade to 1.6.3 and let me know if you still have any issues.
 * Cheers.
