# download shortcode breaks page

 * The [download] shortcode breaks the webpage. For example, [download id=”7381″].
 * This started happening with the recent WordPress update. If I use the insert 
   download button – the page breaks. (I don’t see a javascript error).
 * If I manually insert the same document using the built in Media Library – it 
   works fine.
 * Suggestions?

 * Hey,
 * I suspect that there is a plugin or theme conflict on your website. Could you
   please try if the error still occurs with only this plugin activated with a default
   WordPress theme (e.g. twentyfifteen). I understand this can be a bit of a hassle
   but it’s the only way we can be sure it’s a bug in this plugin.
 * Kind Regards,
