5.4.1 upgrade breaks Shortcodes Ultimate / Posts: Invalid template name

Hi @eammendola,

Please post here the following:

– the full actual path of your custom template
– your posts shortcode code

Thank you.

Here is the information Vladimir.

Actual path:
\www\intranet\wp-content\themes\hospice-alliance\custom-default-loop.php

Shortcode:
[su_posts template=”custom-default-loop.php” posts_per_page=”10″
tax_term=”22,21,73,20,23,130,255,256″ order=”desc”]

Hi @eammendola,

can I ask you to do one more thing?

Please paste the following code to the end of the /wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/shortcodes-ultimate.php file:

add_action( 'admin_notices', 'vanokhin_admin_notices', 10 );

function vanokhin_admin_notices() {

	if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	printf(
		'<div class="notice"><pre contenteditable="true">stylesheet_dir:%s<br>template_dir:  %s<br>plugin_path:   %s<br>realpath:      %s</pre></div>',
		get_stylesheet_directory(),
		get_template_directory(),
		untrailingslashit( plugin_dir_path( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ),
		realpath( untrailingslashit( plugin_dir_path( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ) )
	);

}

Then go to Dashboard and copy text from displayed admin notice. This is how it will look like – https://i.imgur.com/FE8aiz4.png

Thank you.

Vladimir,

I had to modify the script or it would error out, but this is the output:

stylesheet_dir: C:\wamp64\www\intranet/wp-content/themes/hospice-alliance
template_dir: C:\wamp64\www\intranet/wp-content/themes/spacious
plugin_path: C:\wamp64\www\intranet\wp-content\plugins
realpath: C:\wamp64\www\intranet\wp-content\plugins

As you can see, I am using WAMP on Windows.

Hi Ed,

thank you. What was the error?

This is the complete error.

Posts: invalid template name

Is it a problem if the slashes in the paths are going different directions like this? I notice this in only two of the paths.

stylesheet_dir: C:\wamp64\www\intranet/wp-content/themes/hospice-alliance
template_dir: C:\wamp64\www\intranet/wp-content/themes/spacious

I’ve updated the plugin but the version number isn’t changed. Could you reinstall the plugin and check the posts shortcode again?

Thank you.

Vladimir,

Yes this is working for me now.

Thank you.

Thank you for helping me out.

Same here – reinstall helped. Thank you!
