# Show shortcode helpers

 * When editing a Gallery, I click on “Show Shortcode Helpers”, but nothing happens,
   other than it changes the text in the box to “Hide Shortcode Helpers”.
   I searched
   your documentation page and found this under Troubleshooting:[https://fooplugins.com/documentation/foogallery/troubleshooting-foogallery/shortcode-attributes/](https://fooplugins.com/documentation/foogallery/troubleshooting-foogallery/shortcode-attributes/)
 * Is this the page that should be linked when I click on Show Shortcode Helpers?

 * hi [@scratchy101](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scratchy101/)
 * The shortcode helpers are only shown on the gallery edit page. It adds helper
   text next to each setting and all the values, so that you can easily see what
   to use when building up custom shortcodes.
 * You can see these in the screenshot below:

 * Thanks, I see that now. The change was not apparent as it was off screen below
   the Gallery Layout and Items.
 * -=Cheers=-
