 * With this new update 3.14, the buttons to create the shortcodes in the editor
   do not work. The only buttons that work are the buttons to create the shortcodes
   for columns.
 * Tested with fresh installation, Twenty Seventeen.
 * Thanks.

 * I can second that. Getting the following error:

 * Hi Guys,
 * Thanks for your report. I just tested my plugin on my local development environment,
   using the latest WP Core version, twenty seventeen theme, and with only the shortcode
   plugin activated. The shortcode maker, or visual manager, is working without 
   problems on my end.
 * Is there any way I can log into your WordPress installation to test the problem
   myself? You can send me a support message in the link below, and I will quickly
   respond:

 * Ok, I discovered the bug occurred only in Google Chrome. I fixed the javascript
   error, and released version 3.15 which will fix your problem. Thanks for reporting
   it.

 * Chris, it was working yesterday and now is gone. Any suggestions where to look
   to get it back?

 * It sounds like your have a javascript error. try disabling other plugins, and
   see if the shortcode button comes back.

 * I have to agree with Chris. V3.18 works perfectly. A plugin or the theme you 
   are using is the cause of your issue pastor.healer. As Chris said deactivate 
   your plugins one at a time to find the offending plugin. Also, the cause can 
   also be a theme if you installed a new one since yesterday when the button was
   present.
