Shortcodes don't work, except for IP address

  • I’m having the same issues as mentioned in this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wpgc_country_name-and-other-tags-do-not-work?replies=2 which is closed to new replies from 5 months ago. I JUST downloaded the plugin for the most recent version of WordPress and WooCommerce, and I’m experiencing the same exact issues as mentioned in the old thread.

    None of the shortcodes work. If I call information, it comes up with a tilde (~). The only shortcode that displays any data is the IP address. The conditionals don’t work either, they just hide whatever text is in the conditional. I also have a filter class and that doesn’t show up at all when the tilde shows. (The IP address does have the proper span class.)

    The plugin demos work, but is it something in my setup? I don’t have WP Super Cache, although I am using it on a WooCommerce 2.2.7 product page. Has anyone had issues using this plugin with WooCommerce? Please help, this is for an ecommerce site, so we want to keep our customers happy!

    Hi, there.

    I had the same issue, in that only the IP would show up and all other information came up with the tilde (~). After a lot of troubleshooting, I figured out the problem. Not sure if it applies to you, but here it goes …

    I enabled CloudFlare about a month ago, and didn’t recognize that WP Geocode failed about the same time. When I disabled CloudFlare, the functionality I expect came back and the tilde’s disappeared.

    CloudFlare acts as a sort of proxy service sitting between the rest of the Internet and my web hosting provider (Dreamhost in this instance). Learn more at https://www.dreamhost.com/partners/cloudflare/.

    So, not sure if this applies to you, but if you have any sort of proxy, caching or other service, it’s possible it’s interfering with WP Geocode.

    Good luck to you. Larry.

    Hi Larry, I’m thinking of using Cloudflare, did u ever managed to get this problem sorted?

    I’m having a similar problem as everyone else. I don’t use CloudFlare and think it must be my hosting doing the caching. It’s frustrating, because the demo site shows the plugin working perfectly, so I’d love to understand what it is causing the problem.

    The filter shortcodes all produce a tilde except IP address, which works. None of the conditional shortcodes work at all – they just remove the content whatever settings are made.
