 * Hi Alexander,
 * I heard this problem before but I can’t reproduce it yet. Could you please :
 * – check in the database if ‘wp_maxbuttonsv3’ exists?
    – check if you get any 
   errors
 * If not please post the PHP and Mysql version you are using ( you can find it 
   under support in plugin, the texarea in the bottom ).

 * I am not getting any errors. The table maxbuttons_v3 exists, however I am using
   a custom database prefix, that could be a problem.

 * Thanks for that. The prefix shouldn’t be a problem since the plugin uses the 
   usual prefix WP function internally, it’s just easier to write in support. To
   be sure I just tested it as well, and it works here.
 * I take it in your WordPress install you are able to add and edit posts / pages?

 * That’s good news, but leaves me a little stupified. Do you have any clue as to
   what it could’ve been? In any case let me know if sometimes stops working again!

 * I don’t get it either, the name worked with “test” instead of “my button”. I 
   think it was the space.

 * I don’t think so since I can create buttons with spaces in it. For now all people
   who reported this problem also said that after a while it went on working again.
   Also I’m pretty sure it’s some database issue when it fails.

 * To add, in case people find this topic later on. One instance of this issue was
   resolved because the database table was in ‘innodb_forced_recovery’ mode. So 
   checking your database, repair table, eventually delete the table ( backup first!)
   and restart the plugin might all solve the problem.
 * For a next version I’ll look into giving some sort of error message when this
   happens.

 * Hi Sinoe,
 * I don’t know MasterSlider but does it support adding shortcodes into slides? 
   If so then it should work.
