Shortcode not working in WP 4.2.1?

Hi – I’ve triple checked and the shortcode appears to be working for me and a couple of other people.

This site and page are on the latest version 4.2.1 and plugin 2.2
https://www.efolio.soton.ac.uk/blog/alexfurr/quiz-tool-lite-demo/
and it looks OK.
What shortcode are you trying to add?
Are you adding it through the standard page / post page, or via something else? Do any other shortcodes work on that page?

Alex

I just tried a new fresh install of WP using QuickInstall from cPanel. Installed WP 4.0. (I did not upgrade to 4.2.1 just in case)

I installed the 2.2 plugin. I setup my questions and a quiz. Added the quiz shortcode to a sample page.

[QTL-Quiz id=1]

The quiz is not showing, only the shortcode.

The is the only plugin I am having issues with. Other plugins are working OK using shortcodes.

Not sure what is causing this as it is a fresh WP install and no issues with any other plugin. Maybe it is just my case.

Can you send me a link to the page so I can check the HTML?
It does seem to be rendering OK for me – would be good to know the cause.

Sure,

I could send you my login as well. Could not find any way to PM you.

Let me know if you need it. Thanks.

Hi Alex,

I will begin by saying, a great plugin.
I have the same problem, on inserting the Quiz, I can see the shortcode and not the quiz. Can you please help.

Hi shaileyca and sakra00,

Ok, not sure why things were not working, something changed in the core of WP which meant my old version of shortcode handling no longer worked for some people (not all, not sure why!)

Anyway, thanks for sakra00 giving me access to your test site, I’ve now got the fix working and its in the latest release v 2.2.1

Please download and check it now works – it does on the test site at least.

Alex,

thanks a lot for your quick support. I installed it on another WP test site and it works fine now.

Happy to help out ??

Lou.

Many many thanks Alex. Really appreciate your quick help and resolution.
It is now working just right. ??
