 * I’ve created and successfully previewed a tree, but when I go to my page and 
   attempt to insert the shortcode, I can’t do it. I can click on the tree and get
   a box, but there are no trees appearing in the dropdown menu. Is there a way 
   to see the individual tree’s ID number so that I can put in the shortcode manually?

 * Same problem here! It looks like a problem with Javascript? The insert-button
   is not displayed.
 * I also noticed that the buttons in visual editor disappeared when I installed
   Decision Tree and I could not switch form visual editor to text editor. I had
   to deactivate the plugin.
 * [@support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/support/): how can this be solved?
 * Thanks,
    Yvon

 * bethfalk – That’s odd! Sorry your having problems. I just did some testing and
   realized that we don’t require a title on our DTs. Can you go to YOURBLOG.COM/
   wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=decision_tree (replacing YOURBLOG with your URL) 
   and do you see DTs called “(no title)”? If yes, click on it, give it a tittle,
   save, and go and try to insert the DT in a post or page. They should have titles.
 * If not, please report back and we’ll look into it some more!
 * ykruger1 – Sorry – unless you’re having the *exact* same issue, please open another
   thread. Thanks!

 * bethfalk – ah yes! You’d asked about deriving the IDs of the DTs. If you go and
   edit one, you’ll see the ID in the URL. For example, the ID of this one is `14`:
 *  `YOURBLOG.COM/wp-admin/post.php?post=14&action=edit`
 * And then you’d use this shortcode in your post:
 *  `[decisiontree id="14"]`

   if you’re still having the problem *PLEASE* get back to us! We’d love to help.
