Many thanks. I was already thinking on upload to old version since I thought it will take you time to reply but in such a short time (5 minutes) you replied and solved my issue. Great support. I wish I could give you more starts 🙂 * Keep the good work! * Thread Starter [webcart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webcart/) * (@webcart) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-393/#post-14730370) * Another question – I have the search option shortcode to find PDF files but it shows now “posts” in the results with text like when it was changed, by whom etc’. I only need to show the user the PDF link to download the file when finding that file and as I remember it was working like that before.

This is why I ask you. All I was made today is to update the download manager plugin and the free extention of the shorcodes.
