Unable to Add NPC to Wildshape API on new character?

A new player has joined my campaign and as a druid I am trying to set up Wildshape API for him to use, however now his chracter is created I seem unable to add NPC shapes to him to change to. The error I get is: (From WildShape): ERROR: Cannot find character [?{Target Shape|] in the journal (From WildShape): ERROR: If you see a list in the error above please make sure the last character in the list doesn't have any double quotes " in the name, you can replace those with single quotes '

Looks like broken query syntax... if you post the entire command line you are trying to run, people might be able to spot what you need too fix.

The error message suggests checking that the last character in "the list" does not have double quotes in the name. Have you done that? As tim requested, could you maybe send us the list of NPCs you're trying to use? I have used this API myself a few times in the past without any issues.
it's strange that you have this query... normally you add a npc shape from the wildshape menu (!ws having your druid selected)

Im trying to run Add NPC button which gives the command: !ws ---config ---add ---shape ---Astori Net ---?{Target Shape | If I use Add PC it has the same command but as it should, gives a list of all PC character sheets I have in my game currently, it looks like it somehow doesn't not register any NPC sheet at all?
