# Troubleshooting [pdb_record] shortcode

 * I’ve been using this plug-in with the twentyfourteen template for about a month.
   For some reason (my fault, no doubt) the link from the [pdb_list] shortcode to
   the page that contains the [pdb_record] shortcode has stopped working. I’ve tried
   most of the troubleshooting tricks listed in this forum, such as uninstalling
   and reinstalling the plug-in, disabling all other plug-ins, etc. No success so
   far.
    I’ve even tried using a direct link to the page with ([http://localhost/index.php/rider-details/?pdb=63](http://localhost/index.php/rider-details/?pdb=63))
   but that doesn’t work either. I’m at the point where I’d like to try tracing 
   what’s going on in the plug-in so I can see where the problem may be lurking.
   Since I’m relatively new to WordPress, could anyone suggest an approach to troubleshooting?
 * Sincere thanks!

 * The frontend list does not normally point to the page with [pdb_record] (which
   is for editing a record) it points to the “single record page” which has the [
   pdb_single] shortcode…that is for showing all the fields of the record, and it’s
   not editable.
 * If you want the list to point to the editable record, read this article that 
   explains how to do that:
