 * Hi,
    After the last upgrade, i have this message when i want to go inside the
   plugin setting page
 * `DirectoryIterator::__construct(/../www/wp-content/uploads/shortcodes-ultimate-
   skins) [directoryiterator.--construct]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory`
 * Otherwise, the plugin seems working well…
 * Am I the only one?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * I had the same problem when I upgraded to Shortcodes Ultimate 4.2.0
 * Uninstall and reinstall fixed the problem.
 * After reinstallation the directory wp-content/uploads/shortcodes-ultimate-skins
   exists but is empty.
 * So if the problem was caused by the missing directory, it would probably have
   been easier (and safer) to create that directory by hand.

 * I added the directory wp-content/uploads/**shortcodes-ultimate-skins **
    - This worked. I was able to get back into the settings
