I don’t understand how Yoast could think that the answer to this problem is to re-install a previous version. Maybe if enough people have this issue he’ll fix it.

It must have to do with the Amazon Web Services servers.

The video was just to most obvious issue that was resolved by rolling back the PHP version. There were other minor shortcode issues throughout all of the sites. Do you have any issue when you install either one of my suggested plugins or the JW Player?

I would appreciate you doing that test. These are self hosted videos using mediaelement.js (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/media-element-html5-video-and-audio-player/) but once that failed I also tried Secure HTML5 Video Player (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/secure-html5-video-player/). I was getting a black box with a “Download File” link in it.

Do you have video running on any of those sites?

In order to resolve this issue we had to role back the PHP upgrade from 5.3.14 back to 5.3.13. We also switched the PHP ini short_open_tag from off to on. I would appreciate it if WordPress would review the new PHP upgrade to see why there might have been this conflict.

Please clarify “vanilla”.

If it’s specific to my site then can you give me some scenarios why shortcodes might stop working. We’ve already gone through your recommended actions. I can’t be the only person on the planet to have ever had shortcodes stop working. What should I be looking for? How can I get shortcodes to work again?

All plugins were deactivated. Most plugins were completely removed from the server and then re-installed problem still occurring.

Sites were switched back to Twenty Eleven problem still occurring.

Plugin folder was reset problem still occurring

All files except the wp-content folder re-installed problem still occurring.

It’s not just my site. Take a look at all these conversations. Everyone is thinking the plugins are at fault but all these plugins fail after upgrading to 3.4.1

Invoking plugin button in editor brings up a blank dialog is still occurring today December 21, 2011.

It looks like it’s very slowly starting to produce data. I have two pages with speed data now from Saturday. I think this might be more of a Google issue than an Yoast issue.
