Read More plugin doesn’t work on category description

Hello.

Its unclear where exactly you are using it, but generally speaking, the following workaround will help you identify the cause of the issue:

1) Deactivate all other plugins and retry
2) Switch to a default WordPress installation theme and retry

Unfortunately, I can only provide support factory state of this plugin, which means that in case you have modified its files, have custom requests or you are using a third party theme, you have to advise your developer or your theme author for it.

Just gave a check under a fresh WordPress installation, using the latest version and plugin works fine.

Hi,

I think it simply doesn’t work on category page.
As you ask, i test on clean version with wp basic theme.
It doesn’t work.

Look : https://www.tente-gonflable.info/category/test-categorie/

Which file you modified in order to produce this output and which code you added to it?
Please be specific. Pastebin.com would be also helpful for your examples.

I don’t modify any file, it’s the original wordpress theme Twenty Sixtine.

And you can see the code (text & shortcode) i used directly on the page. Tell me what can i give you more if needed.

Pasting the [readmore] shortcode will cause execution on text (editor-related things).

In order to have it added on template hierarchy files, you need to echo it via do_shortcode function, inside the respective file of your theme.

Im afraid that I cannot help you if you are not sure what the above means, since coding knowledge is required and falls outside the scope of my support for this item, however, you can read more about do_shortcode function here and attempt this edit:

I just tried integrating it and it works fine.

Closing this ticket now as resolved. If there are any questions I can help inside support scope, feel free to reopen it.

Thanks for the answer but it’s not resolved.

Your plugin description is “It works via a shortcode and can be placed everywhere!”

So it is false if i must modified theme file (that i could, but i search & try a plugin to avoid that).

You should update the requirement & documentation of the plugin.

Thats a completely truthful statement. Theme’s hierarchy requires code changes in order to place things in category view, thats not a limitation of the plugin.

Thus, my plugin works just fine and you will still have to place the shortcode there. The fact that shortcodes are accepted through do_shortcode function in PHP code is not something that changes this fact.

I can see a completely truthful statement in the description, compared to the false one, in your initial support request message “it doesnt work”.

@neuronpartners You may need to add this to your themes functions.php file:

add_filter( 'term_description', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'category_description', 'do_shortcode' );

Thank you @gvnet !

That’s the answer i would love to see from @gkouvousisg

Glad I see its sorted out by a community member, as I am crystal clear about the support provided here and custom requests cannot be part of it.

We don’t have the same notion of custom request…

You speak about community, fortunately people care of it more than you because if you had taken 5min to put the answer given in the description or FAQ of the plugin, you would help a lot of people.

Matter of state of mind probably, and sharing knowledge ??

My time is as much valuable as your time is and as a community members’ is.

I do appreciate the solution given @gvnet, but I chose to support my plugin at basic support level instead of disabling support for it.

You should appreciate the same way, the fact that you are using a plugin someone coded for you, in order to save time and money.

Well, we agree to disagree, but this it not a support matter and this is a support ticket, so conversation is ended for me. If you have any other custom requests according to your own specific needs in the future, feel free to consult your developer if you are not familiar with coding, as I cannot provide a solution for each specific custom need, under the umbrella of this item’s support.

Thanks for your understanding and I hope that no offence was taken.
Have a great week ahead,
