    Was able to place a shortcode for an item through the text editor (add shortcode > select shortcode > GetPaid .. insert item id|quantity, etc.) – but all that shows up on the live page is the shortcode text. Must be a configuration issue somewhere .. anyone? Thanks.

    Are you adding the shortcode to a place that accepts shortcodes? Please include the actual shortcode that you’re adding.

    GetPaid is in the shortcode selector that shows up in the Text editor (see below); also used the raw shortcode GetPaid generates in the “Items” section but to no avail.

    Shortcode selector generated (after filling in variables):
    [getpaid title=”Basic PACK” item=”4055|1″ button=”BASIC – $19″]

    Raw shortcode under “Items” in GetPaid WP admin:
    [getpaid item=4055 button=’Buy Now’]

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi @wordfoxx,

    are you adding the shortcode to a page or post?

    The only thing that looks wrong is the quote and double quotes format. It should be:

    [getpaid title=”Basic PACK” item=”4055|1″ button=”BASIC – $19″]

    [getpaid item=4055 button=’Buy Now’].

    Please try to copy and paste any of them and let me know if that was the issue.

    Thanks,

    ?paoltaia Sorry, but those are the same codes as the ones I posted, no?

    *also, those shortcodes were generated by GetPaid … a bit confused.

    ps. … adding to a Page (as a “Buy Now” in a Pricing Table)

    [getpaid title="Basic PACK" item="4055|1" button="BASIC – $19"]

    and

    `[getpaid item=4055 button=’Buy Now’]

    Curly quotes and double quotes vs unformatted.

    I’ll ask Brian to investigate further

    @wordfoxx please share a link to the page where you’re adding the shortcode. Make sure that the pricing table supports shortcodes. The shortcode inserter attaches to all textarea boxes, even though some may not support shortcodes.

    Just tried to insert the same code into a blank test page – WORKS!

    Looks like there may be a conflict when nested in a Table?? Will try to do a workaround as in inserting it below the column (and therefore outside of the Table) and see if that works as well!

    *Brian/Paolo Thanks for taking the time to help – deeply appreciated! ??

    Nice, if your pricing table supports adding a normal button, use the following as the URL of the button.

    #getpaid-item-4055|1

    *Works on the same page but outside the Table – which is not optimal ??

    BUT your button URL code saved the day – worked as it should!!! Thanks a bundle! ??

    Have a great week, guys!
