 * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ckeditor-4/)
 * I use CKEditor and have found that this plugin only works when I disable it in
   favor of the default WordPress editor (TinyMCE?)
 * I saw someone else had the same issue over here:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-shortcode-please-wait/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-shortcode-please-wait/)
 * and that it was marked as resolved, but I’m still having the trouble. I enter
   a keyword and hit search, and get nothing. As I said, it works fine with the 
   default editor, but for a few reasons I have to use CKEditor.

    Amazon Link Builder 1.4.10 PHP 5.6.22 Linux kernel 2.6.32 CKEditor 
   4.5.3.3 Browsers — Chrome (and variants — Chromium, Vivaldi) and Firefox. Happens

 * Dear [@fossfolks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fossfolks/),
 * We are looking into your issue and will get back to you soon. Just one question,
   is the issue being faced by you is only for Product link template(when you select
   your text and then hit Search button)? Is the issue also occurring if ProductCarousel
   is the default template in settings?

 * ProductCarousel has been the default (or so says the settings page) and this 
   is happening when I type a term into the search box, then hit the Search button.
   I didn’t realize I could just highlight a word in my blog post and hit search…

 * Dear [@fossfolks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fossfolks/),
 * Thanks for the information and letting us know this issue. We have identified
   the root cause and will fix the same in next release. Until then, you have to
   use TinyMCE editor only. Sincere apologies for the same.

 * I’m on 1.4.11, still no love. Did you mean it was coming out in this release,
   or the next bigger one (like, 1.5.x)?

 * Dear [@fossfolks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fossfolks/),
 * Apologies for the inconvenience, but we discovered further integration issues
   while solving for the integration with CKEditor. Part of the reason is the fact
   that the CKEditor plugin for WordPress is [not in active maintenance](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ckeditor-for-wordpress)
   any longer. We will continue to explore further opportunities to complete the
   integration with CKEditor, but would like to request you to please use the default
   editor (TinyMCE) for now.
