1.7 breaks shortcode processing in page body

There’s one more thing that maybe points you in the right direction:
When checking the link above you can see my “Anmelden” button from a mailinglist register form has somehow “slipped” to the right of the address field.

In comparison to the homepage and the contact page the form uses exactly the same code and css formatting for the form div, but somehow the button shows inline. No idea how this might help you, but reverting back to 1.6 also fixes this.

Last remark so far: Deactivating All-in-one-Event-Calendar plugin restores FBTF functions back to normal after 1.6, so something from 1.7 is obviously interferring with the way ai1ec processes code. Since 1.6 was still working fine, I still assume FBTF to be the “perpetrator”. Anyway, there is a known issue with ai1ec and PHP (no PHP7 support, agressive and therefore broken PHP-error-handling) which might help you to track the problem.

Thanks for this detailed feedback. I wish everyone was a meticulous.

I’ve been thinking about this – and looking at you HTML. Honestly I can’t think of a single thing that I changed that could cause what you described. My plugin only outputs meta data into the head, nowhere else, and the pages you singled out all pass the Facebook Debugger with flying colours (even without an FB app ID). And there’s no malformed markup either (which was my first thought).

It doesn’t interfere with the output of the page body, and in the case for the contact page you mentioned I’m at a loss to explain. Nothing obvious comes to mind.

That said, all I can say is that I’ll see if I can find some time to download Ai1EC and see what happens (I assume it’s free). But don’t hold your breathe. I’m sorry to report I’ve got other priorities needing my attention right now (stuff I actually get paid for ?? that will keep me busy for a while.

Does your PHP error log reveal anything obvious? Mine is not showing any errors.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
thanks for your detailed reply and the digging you’ve done so far. I’ll check PHP errors soon and will give feedback, a first look into your php left me also clueless – maybe a second one reveals a bit. Til then keep on earning, would be a shame if you would have to stop developing on ftf at all ??

Thank you
David

I’m experiencing this same issue, the problem is being caused by the new feature to use truncated main content when the excerpt does not exist.

This is causing shortcodes to be prematurely rendered by the plugin and injected into the <meta itemprop=”description”… /> tag.

@aoverton

That makes perfect sense. Seeing as I have never (ever) used a shortcode in the content editor, I never considered this possibility.

I’ll update it over the weekend. I can’t honestly think of a way to get around that aside from simply removing the condition that uses truncated content when an except doesn’t exist, and instead you’ll just need to have an excerpt like it was before.

Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be an existing WP function for checking if any shortcode exists, only functions to check for specific shortcodes (which would be ridiculous to consider in this case).

That said, maybe I’ll add a subtle warning the excerpt field has been left empty.

Stay tuned.

Awesome 2 the m@x

If y’all (@stucyber + @aoverton + @philhilton) would like to test it (once I’ve updated it) before I push it to the repo that would be great. Reach me here at the email address noted in the plugin and I’ll send you a copy.

If not interested, that’s totally cool.

I don’t have a case that breaks it, but if someone wants to supply me post data that does I’ll throw it on a dev box. phil ~aattt~ interfix.net

@mikeyott

Of course I’ll test ??
You’ve got mail.

Awse. Give me a day or two.

Thanks @mikeyott email sent

All sorted, update pushed out.

Now it’s working as expected. Thank you @mikeyott for pushing this through so fast and to @aoverton and @philhilton for providing the essential hints!
