# CSS not coming through when shortcode used

 * I am inserting the tool into my template using the shortcode:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div class="lang"><?php echo do_shortcode('[auto_translate_button]'); ?></div>
       ```
   
 * And the CSS sheet (auto-translate-global.min.css) is not loading (JS, too?), 
   so the selector UI is broken – it does not display/function as a dropdown. But
   if I add a redundant instance using the “Menu placement” section, the CSS sheet
   comes through, and both instances of the UI look and function properly. I don’t
   know if this is a bug, or if I have something improperly configured.

 * Hi nitrospectide,
   Thank you very much for your feedback, you have identified 
   a bug in the plugin.We have fixed it and released it as v2.1.2, though WP plugin
   repo takes 24 hs to release it to sites.If you prefer to download it earlier,
   you can do it manually from manually from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/auto-translate.2.1.2.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/auto-translate.2.1.2.zip).
   Best,Juan

 * Juan,
 * Thank you! I downloaded from your link, and while the zip says 2.1.2, when I 
   uploaded it, it was identified as 2.1.1. I installed anyway, thinking it that
   maybe the just version number was not incremented, but the bug persists. It seems
   this may just be the 2.1.1 version.

 * I checked, and that link indeed downloads v2.1.1 even though it is named 2.1.2,
   I thought WP would allow manual download, but that isn’t the case, it only shows
   the wrong version on the name. Unfortunately, you’ll need to wait until tomorrow
   for it to be available. Sorry for the wait!
