It’s been a pain in the A**!! * But, it’s close. It’ll be slightly different… you’ll get a popup window with a list of all available shortcodes with a radio button selection interface. Select which shortcode you want to insert, and it’ll do the rest. * I only wish I knew javascript as much as I know php 🙂 * So… a few more days. * Thread Starter [Robert S](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rschilt/) * (@rschilt) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-tinymce-shortcodes-button/page/2/#post-2892057) * Hi Josh, * Appreciate the heads up.

Appreciate you pursuing this problem. 2.8 downloaded and tested: * 1) I think you cracked it! well almost… 2) Error appears inside and top of shortcode pop-up selection panel: * “Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in ****/public_html/wp-includes/vars.php on line 28:” * Cheers, * [aaanadie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aaanadie/) * (@aaanadie) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-tinymce-shortcodes-button/page/2/#post-2892072) * I have WP 3.4.1 with Ultimate TinyMCE 2.7, the shortcodes button was working ok, but I updated to 2.8 today and shortcodes button stopped working (when I press shortcodes button only got a blank window). I uninstalled, deleted and reinstalled Ultimate TinyMCE 2.8 but still the issue. * [aaanadie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aaanadie/) * (@aaanadie) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ultimate-tinymce-shortcodes-button/page/2/#post-2892073) * Update: I made other test: installed a fresh WordPress 3.4.1 (same server, just a subdomain), then installed Ultimate TinyMCE 2.8 and loaded default settings, went to edit sample page and … same issue.
