Custom Shortcode Doesn’t Always Work

    I have two posts where the shortcode isn’t being rendered into HTML. After a lot of HTML/CSS debugging has given me any clues. I haven’t dug into PHP because I’m rather inexperienced there so far.

    The The custom shortcode [lmt-post-modified-info] is simply being skipped, not rendered, as I discover when using the Inspect tool in Google Chrome. The curious detail is that if I switch to the simple [last-modified] shortcode, it is working.

    One of these posts was an existing post that had some page-specific CSS, and the other was a brand-new post created from WP-ADMIN. In other words, it’s not based on another post’s template that could be masking the issue.

    I really like the tool, and am ready to give a 5-star review once this is figured out because it’s in general a helpful and time-saving plugin.

    Hi there ??

    The [last-modified] shortcode is the only one added by this plugin so [lmt-post-modified-info] must be coming from another plugin or your theme.

    Wish I could be of more help; good luck!

    That teaches me to try to do debugging in the late night hours. I did have two separate and possibly conflicting plugins installed; I got a little plugin happy and installed a few too many, and recently went on a diet.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond!
