 * I use your plugin on my websites [BabakTV.com](https://babaktv.com/) and [BabakFilm.com](https://babakfilm.com/).
   However it works weel, it has a small issue:
   At the time of creating a new shortcode,
   it over writes your exiciting shortcode. So after creating a shortcode, instead
   of pressing the button to create a new shortcode, I have to open shortcode page
   in a new tab to have it worked correctly.Maybe you can fix this issue?

 * Thank you for you support.
   Actually it is not completly resolved. Still, the 
   new shorcode overwrite the old one if i have created the older one on the same
   page (without refreshing the page).Also noticed of another issue: Aparently creating
   shorcodes for non-English category or taxonomy doesnt work. For english ones 
   it is okay, but for non-english one (Persian letters), at first it looks good,
   but if you refresh the page and go to that shortcode, you will see that the taxonomy
   the have selected for that shortcode, it is deselected. For widgets, it works
   fine even for non-English ones

 * Hi there,
 * No problem. I have changed the status of this ticket as not resolved. I will 
   help to resolve it.
 * I have tested the shortcode generator on my test websites and it seems to be 
   working perfectly (No more override without page refresh). You can check the 
   [screencast here](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/04yka7dnoxl0lkaerfpsm/DPT_shortcode.mp4?rlkey=w3q852kg5g409imk96gklrlrk&st=ep0t9f0s&dl=0&raw=1).
 * Please ensure you have updated the plugin to its latest version (v 3.2.1) and
   also clear all browser and plugin cache (if using).
 * Inform me if it is working or not.
 * Thanks,
