It looks like it had something to do with my server and my host fixed it. Thanks for responding so quickly.

Yes, I am using the latest version. I just tried deleting it and adding it back and used a different browser. I still have the same problem.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there a fix? Thanks

That has happened to me numerous times as well usually I can just spot the issue, but even after realizing that I could fix the problem, I still have no idea what the wrong characters were. I copied and pasted a working version right next to a non-working version (in the text editor) and I still could not see a difference.

Plus, These pages were working before and I have not made any changes.

It seems like something different in the new version of WP.

Anyways, just wanted to share in case someone else has the same problem.

Thanks for your help xnau

It looks like others may be having issues with other shortcodes as well. Here is a thread I found: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/shortcodes-arent-working-after-upgrade-to-44?replies=6

what I did was copy my shortcode and paste it into notepad, then copied it from notepad and pasted it into the text editor and it worked. Everything in my text editor looks exactly the same but it works. I have no idea how this fixes the issue but it did.

No, there are no other left brackets or any other code. Its just text and the shortcode.

I also deactivated all my other plugins to see if any of the plugins might be the cause but it still did not work.

I’m completely lost on how this could be happening.

I had thought that might be the case as well because but I looked and in text editor it looks fine. It looks exactly like this in text editor:

[pdb_list template=”cq” search=”true” filter=’author=- Dwight L. Moody’ fields=’quote’]

Thanks

Perfect, thanks

OK, just sent it

I forgot to mention, it is messing with my theme’s mobile view as well. It is making all my text and images (even ads) smaller than the should look. When I deactivate the plugin though, my theme’s mobile view looks exactly how it is supposed to.

Oh, thanks for that. They were able to get it back up and running.

Thanks for the quick help.

It was working just fine until today though. I was showing the popular posts for the last 30 days so I am guessing those stats were there before, but I cannot be for sure since I do not look there very often.

URL is faithinthenews(.)com

Thanks for the help.

I probably did some plugin upgrades recently (I can;t remember what site I did this with) but no theme upgrades.

Perfect! Thank you so much. It is working perfectly now.

And it looks like I do not have to go in and change all the different static pages I have either. Those search forms are back to working now.

Thanks for the great plugin and support

Oh yes, that is because I have been using this on my test site and not the live one. I went ahead and changed it on my live site as well.

The problem does not appear to be with the search page (www(.)christianquotes(.)info/search-for-a-quote/) though. If you type something in that form it works. I guess the problem is if you are using the search function in the header. So for example, if you go to the homepage and click on the “find a quote” button on the top right of the header and you search in there (The left search bar is the one for this plugin) it acts as if it is searching and sends you to the search page, but it lists all the entries rather than the searched term entries.
