the shortcode is [include id=”209″ the page id.

thanks again.

sorry, the code is properly closed”]” just forgot it here.

Ron,

1) on the example page I’m getting a 404 error
2) If the page is in your wordpress database, the include plugin should display it assuming that the theme is correctly handling the content body.
3) I’m not familiar with ithemes exchange; but it’s possible that the issue is on their end; please post this to their support area as well.

Thanks for the reply Michael:

odd, I just used the link above to open the page np.

Re point 2) the page has an ID so it should be there, but it still may be the problem if it’s getting its data dynamically. I’ll play around with it for a while. At the moment it’s deactivated for other test reasons.

BTW The same page gives me a lot of problems with tabs plugins anyway – it breaks the tabs mainly when I try to content it – until I delete the scripts from its content. So it may well be the content is interfering with ‘include’ as well.

I’ll be back, thanks

Hi Michael

I’ve played around some more and see that “include” works great for normal posts – so thumbs up – but the product pages I want to include are pretty proprietary and when I use them the way I want, they break most plugins’ functioning.

I have tried to “include” by both product id and slug: I get zero display but “include” has printed the new content wrap with class etc, just the product content itself is missing.

Product Pages are the only content iThemes does not enable for consumer-made pages, I’m guessing that it is because there are scripts etc that can lead to a snarl of errors if messed with (and also seem to mess with normal WP operations when unshielded).

That said, you might tend to say “okay that’s their problem not ours” but I will provide you the links to the pages for inspection, in the hope you will feel this is an opportunity to see if there is a way to overcome these barriers and vastly broaden the scope of “include” customer base (popularity) for your already cool product. ??

Cheers

page: live lessons hub https://englishw5.com/live-lessons-hub/
include-location: inside the accordion tab pane, left side under the small banner – “policies: pricing…”
currently before the tab and also inside the pane content (showing as blank)

The actual page I want to “include”: https://englishw5.com/product/lessons-combination-groups/

Ron,

I’ve taken a look, and determined that the issue is in whatever plugin is handling the accordion menu.

This is not the only issue with the menu either; In chrome ( which I am using ) it doesn’t even slightly resemble an accordion menu and looks obviously broken.

The big issue it’s having is this: it’s not handling shortcodes placed inside of it. it needs to wrap the content of the accordion menu with a do_shortcode( ) function. When viewing the source of the menu I can clearly see the shortcode in the html, meaning that it wasn’t even parsed and ran.

Please test the include plugin on one of your products by placing the shortcode outside of any other shortcode wrappers, for instance: make a new page and put only the include shortcode on that page and see what happens. If you still have issues with it then let me know.

Hi again Michael

Thanks again for your lightning fast response. FYI it’s 12-15 hours ahead here in Thailand so I appreciate knowing you are tackling this in your evening time. Sorry for cluttering up your forum.

Okay, clean page with separated examples

cheers, ron

Ok, so, it appears that the page you want to include is using a custom page template to create the page and that the page itself has basically no content; resulting in what you’re seeing now. There’s nothing I can do about this; as the only way I could handle this on my end would be to include the entire page with another copy of the site header and the site footer.

This is going to require you to do some custom coding to create a shortcode that outputs the content that the custom page template generates – or get on the theme creators to do it for you. you’d end up with something like this:

[show_product id=26]

Hi Michael

Pretty much as I suspected, “include” is working just fine and after many <i>many</i> hours of messing with my goals around the other developer’s page output I was only able to get anything close by including the the footer content from their page which messed up everything else.

Sorry to distract you, and I do appreciate you quality of service – outstanding.

Include is going to be a very handy plugin for me from now on.

Cheers,
Ron

Marking as resolved.

Ron,

I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help, but I’m glad I was able to help as much as I did.

Please be sure to rate/review the Include plugin to help us out!

Thanks!

Cheers Michael

You have been a big help just by being attentive. In fact I have gone around in circles for easily 20-30 hours with this with no clear response from anyone before you. Now I can move forward ??

Your service warrants 5 star, the product is clean and straightforward, easy for anyone to use. That also warrants full points.
