Shortcode [words=] and Divi Pagebuilder…

The latest version of the plugin (updated yesterday, version 1.21) is better about replacing the shortcode with the posts. It used to put the shortcode content at the top of the post, and any page/post content afterwards. Fixed that; so are you using the latest version?

If all is working well, the plugin should be replacing where the shortcode is with the posts content.

If using the latest version of the plugin, have you seen the same thing without any shortcode parameters?

I use the latest version 1.21.
Only if I set the parameter [word] the error occurs.

And there is a small bug in the title at the date, the bracket is not closed ?? (after the edit pencil)

I just tested it with this shortcode:

this is text before [mpr_display words=12 ] this is text after

And it worked fine. Although I did see the extra left parenthesis there. The [mpr_display] also worked with the full content. [mpr_display words=50] also works fine.

I’ll fix the left parenthesis problem in a bit. But can’t duplicate your problem, so assume that it is some other plugin/process.

Maybe I need to adjust the priority of the shortcode function. Let me fix that and the parenthesis. Should be ready shortly.

OK. Just uploaded version 1.22, should show up in a little bit.

Version 1.22 fixed the missing parenthesis, and changed the priority of the function to ‘999’ from the default of 10.

Let me know if that makes a difference.

Excellent!!!

PS:
In my installation, it shows every shortcode, not just the pagebuilder’s, but also the Multisite Post reader. Could it have something to do with the excerpt settings of the theme?

New version 1.22 produces a white screen in backend and frontend

Hmm….I don’t see that on my test installation. Can you post the last several lines of the error.log file?

Just uploaded version 1.23. Fixed possible white screen that depends on site error settings.

If you still have problems, the last several lines of the error.log file would be helpful.

do you have wp_debug set true? those are just ‘warning’ errors, and not really ‘hard’ errors.

Look for this in wp-config.php:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

It is normally
define('WP_DEBUG', false);

on production sites.

Hi Rick
I have reinstalled the plugin today and now I get a http error 500 in the dashboard if i try to publish a post with the shortcode [mpr_display]

Have you seen the fatal php error list above I send to you two days ago?

I have a multisite test area that I use. I used the network admin page to deactivate and remove the plugin. Then I reinstalled via the Add Plugins page, and activated it. Then I went to my main site (site ‘1’) and created a post with just the [mpr_display] shortcode. Published the page, and then viewed it. All worked just fine.

I did respond to your error messages; two messages up from this one, talking about the WP_DEBUG setting on your system.

A ‘500’ error can be many things; hard to tell without looking at the error logs.

Suggest you first ensure that define('WP_DEBUG', false); is in your wp-config.php . Then close your browser (or open up a different browser in ‘incognito’ mode), and test things there. Report back on any error messages. You might also try a complete deactivate/delete/reinstall.

Thanks.
