* The user name shortcode, 4.0, isn’t working:
[O_U user_name=”user1″][nggallery
id=1][/O_U]
* I’ve not used it prior to 4.0, but based on other comments, this might be a 4.0-
release issue.

* Hi,
* I’ve a Genesis/Dynamik installation on my localhost, with two subscribers, user1
and user2, both default except for having admin privileges disabled. The content
comprises two nextgen galleries, via shortcodes, on a page.
* Below is the test code. The content targeted by user1 and user2 are not displayed
in any case. However, the galleries are displayed by the gallery shortcodes without
any O_U shortcodes.
* user 1 gallery
[O_U user_name=”user1″][nggallery id=1][/O_U]
* user 2 gallery
[O_U user_name=”user2″][nggallery id=2][/O_U]
* without shortcodes, both galleries
* [nggallery id=1]
[nggallery id=2]
* Regards,
BillHi

* Hi, this might be caused by a bug we are fixing in 4.0.1. I suggest that you
try to replace the wp-includes/formatting.php file with this one [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/export/HEAD/trunk/src/wp-includes/formatting.php](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/export/HEAD/trunk/src/wp-includes/formatting.php)
* Also, please tell us which version of PHP you are using.

* I’m using PHP version 5.4.19 (localhost–Desktop Server). Thanks.

* billhi, thank you. 5.4.19 is not affected by that PHP bug as far as we know so
far, but you can still use the newer formatting.php file if you want to. Enjoy.
