# Update breaks shortcode

 * Hello,
 * I updated to the latest version (4.1.6) and my shorcode no longer works. In your
   documentation it says that there should be a “Use Shortcode” option but that 
   option does NOT exist. Rolling back to version 4.1.4 fixed the issue and allowed
   me to use a short code again.
 * Is there a way to get this option to show up / get shortcodes to work again in
   your latest version?
 * Thanks

 * Same thing happened to me. And rolling back to 4.14 is the only thing that worked.

 * The update has also caused problems for me, same issue, cannot use shortcode 
   and it tells me I need to upgrade to Pro. If that is really the reason this is
   broken, there isn’t a snowball’s chance in h*ll that I will upgrade.

 * Does anyone know if anything is being done about this? Has there been any reaction
   from the developers?

 * Hi Jravelle,
 * This issue has been fixed in the latest plugin update. I request you to update
   RM to its latest version (v4.1.9) and check.
    Do let me know if you still face
   the issue.
 * Regards,
    Sumit
