# Simplest default use does nothing

 * The plugin simply doesn’t do anything. Using the default shortcode, the upload
   form is cropped at the bottom, and clicking “Select File” and selecting a file,
   nothing happens. The ability to click “Upload” never happens. The user can’t 
   see a file name, and so doesn’t know if the selection even worked.
 * Thoughts?
 * Thanks for your time and attention.

 * Hi, I opened the page. I see some Javascript errors which break the operation
   of the plugin. Are you using any Elementor theme?
 * There is a fix for the specific errors I see. You need to put the following code
   inside functions.php file of your theme:
 *     ```
       if (!function_exists('wfu_after_upload_handler1')) {
       	function wfu_file_upload_output_handler1($cont) {
       		$ch = '&'.'#'.'038;';
       		$cont = str_replace($ch.$ch, '&&', $cont);
       		return $cont;
       	}
       	add_filter('the_content', 'wfu_file_upload_output_handler1', 100);
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards
 * Nickolas
