 * [@fredel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredel/) – A quick test with the
   default `[wpp]` shortcode appears to work fine for me, can you provide any additional
   context to the issue you are describing?
 * Thanks!

    maybe because of https:?

 * [@fredel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredel/) – There are several “smart”
   quotes being used with the parameters of the `wpp` shortcode on your example 
   page, I tested that shortcode by copying, pasting, and replacing all of the relevant
   single and double quotes in the TinyMCE editor’s text tab and it appears to work
   as expected (or what I would suspect as expected) on my test site. I would suggest
   looking at that aspect of the shortcode to insure that they are not breaking 
   due to “smart” quotes being used.

 * Hey Cais,
 * thank you very much, will upgrade to premium now 🙂
 * The reason seems to be the /table code. However it worked before the NextGen 
   Update. DO you have any idea why this should make any problems. Maybe you can
   consider this within the next update?
 * Best

 * Sorry, it is the <span> code. If i delete it the code works proberly.
    Maybe 
   there is a reason within nextgen?
 * Thanks again!
 * This works:
    [wpp range=weekly stats_comments=0 cat=-4 excerpt_length=250 post_type
   =post stats_views=0 limit=150 thumbnail_width=70 thumbnail_height=70 wpp_start
   =”<table>” post_html= “<tr><td>{thumb} {title} <br><br>{summary}</td></tr> ” 
   wpp_end=” </table>”]
 * This doesnt
    [wpp range=weekly stats_comments=0 cat=-4 excerpt_length=250 post_type
   =post stats_views=0 limit=150 thumbnail_width=70 thumbnail_height=70 wpp_start
   =”<table>” post_html= “<tr><td>{thumb} <span style=’font-weight:600; font-size:
   1.1em’> {title} </span> <br><br><span style=’font-weight:300; font-size:1em;

 * [@fredel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredel/) – Please try the latest
   release (2.1.56) which should sort this issue out. I tested the example shortcode
   you provided (after editing the “smart” quotes in it) and it appears to work 
   as expected.

 * O damn, your fix doesn`t work out sorry. there are several commands missing in
   the list. (all categories are shown, no summary etc.)
