Title: Shortcode Editor Still Broken Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Shortcode Editor Still Broken * Resolved [Austin Nichols](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fiq/) * (@fiq) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/) * Just letting you know. * Not sure why you thought that would work. You are still sending the query to the database. The problem isn’t with the browser, it’s with the database. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-load-more/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-load-more/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774514) * Oh I thought your issue was the displaying of the return values not the get_categories() query itself. You realize that I don’t have a database with 9k categories so this is impossible for me to test? * Anyways, do you think you could stop posting in the plugin support forums? You rated my plugin 1 star so why are you still using it? * Thread Starter [Austin Nichols](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fiq/) * (@fiq) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774519) * Browsers don’t cause server errors. * We are not using it on our live site, but there is always hope. We didn’t give it one star to be punitive. We purchased your addons and the plugin broke our site. It was just our honest review. I raised it to 5 stars when I read your changelog, but then I discovered the fix didn’t work. We will review our review again after the next update. * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774603) * The addon did not break your site.. the Shortcode builder did. Can you give me access to your site? * I’m not doing anything crazy… Just calling `get_categories()` and `get_tags()` etc. * The fix I put in place was to simply not display the return value… I thought the volume of items was killing the select boxes and causes memory issues. * Thread Starter [Austin Nichols](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fiq/) * (@fiq) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774607) * I didn’t say the add on broke the site. But if the main plugin doesn’t work it breaks everything. * I don’t know what I can do to get you to understand this issue. YOU ARE doing“ crazy” stuff. If you use get_users and there are 50,000+ users it will break the server every time. What part of that don’t you get? * If you don’t understand sever errors have nothing to do with the browser I don’t know how I can help you. * “Can you give me access to your site?” Seriously? * Thread Starter [Austin Nichols](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fiq/) * (@fiq) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774608) * PS Why do you keep marking this resolved? * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774609) * Now that I understand the full issue I’ll get this fix in for 2.5.1. As I said above I didn’t realize the issue was the function call, I thought it was the display. * “Can you give me access to your site?” Seriously? Lots of people have actually and i was able to help them out. I’m not an asshole. * P.S. Do you know this guy?

I’m hoping you will consider changing your reviews again after this update. * Thread Starter [Austin Nichols](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fiq/) * (@fiq) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774611) * I know you’re not a **. That’s why I’m taking the time to make this plugin perfect. However, you don’t need to get access to our sever to fix this. We will certainly review our review once this is fixed. * I have no idea who that is or what they are talking about. * Hell, Ill raise our review to 5 stars, just don’t let us down. 😉 * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-editor-still-broken-1/#post-5774612) * Just committed 2.5.1 Let me know how this one works for you.
