 * This is a warning, not an error. And the shortcode `[nimble-portfolio]` is mentioned
   in this plugin’s Description tab ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nimble-portfolio/description/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nimble-portfolio/description/))
 * Shortcode handling function expects `template` parameter, and if its not there
   its throughs this warning, you can overcome by providing the `template` parameter.
   Use this shortcode instead `[nimble-portfolio template="3colround"]`
