 * I guess you meant the insert shortcode button to embed recipes in normal posts
   and pages. For me this is working as intended.
 * Please provide some more information on your OS / browser and explain the steps
   you’ve taken.

 * i am working of a mac osX 10.2.2 – i have tried in both firefox and chrome. I
   have visual composer installed. The button is there but does nothing . The recipe
   post itself is working as planned ( except that site search will not search the
   recipes)

 * The screenshot is showing quite a lot of other plugins influencing your editor.
   
   It might be some of the plugins is interfering with RecipePress reloaded. You
   can find out by deactivating them. However this actually should not be the case.
   But who knows.
 * I will check on the weekend using my wifes Mac if this problem is related to 
   the OS.

 * On my wife’s Mac (latest OS X, latest safari) everything is working like expected.
   So I’m pretty sure one of your plugins is causing the problems. If you find out
   which one it is pl,ease tell me. I’ll then try to remove interferences.
