User error! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246010#post-1013401 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:08:56 +0000 rheric 1013401@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm also having this problem, but *only* with new shortcodes since the 2.7.1 upgrade (so I believe...)</p> <p>Was something changed in 2.7.1? All of my previous shortcodes work, but a new one does not - it just prints out the shortcode text.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246010#post-993680 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:25:54 +0000 MichaelH 993680@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Does this apply?</p> <p>From the Usage tab at <a href="http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-polls.html" rel="nofollow">http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-polls.html</a>:</p> <blockquote><p> 1. Go to 'WP-Admin -&gt; Pages -&gt; Add New'.<br /> 2. Type any title you like in the post's title area.<br /> 3. If you ARE using nice permalinks, after typing the title, WordPress will generate the permalink to the page. You will see an 'Edit' link just beside the permalink.<br /> 4. Click 'Edit' and type in 'pollsarchive' in the text field (without the quotes) and click 'Save'.<br /> 5. Type '[page_polls]' in the post's content area (without the quotes).<br /> 6. Click 'Publish'.<br /> 7. If you ARE NOT using nice permalinks, you need to go to 'WP-Admin -&gt; Polls -&gt; Poll Options' and under 'Poll Archive -&gt; Polls Archive URL', you need to fill in the URL to the Polls Archive Page you created above. </p></blockquote> <p>What other shortcodes are not working? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246010#post-993303 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 07:06:49 +0000 drift_dave 993303@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have recently had all the shortcodes for a variety of plugins stop working. For example the shortcode [polls_page] for Lester Chan's plugin WP-Polls no longer creates the Polls Archive Page when the shortcode is inserted into a page. Previous to this they have all been working well.</p> <p>You can see the non-working example (just displays the shortcode and doesn't render the plugin) right here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.driftsnowkitemag.com/pollsarchive/" rel="nofollow">http://www.driftsnowkitemag.com/pollsarchive/</a></p> <p>There are two events that might be contributing to the issue. I upgraded to 2.7.1 recently and soon after that, I moved my WordPress directory from a subdirectory to the Root directory.</p> <p>Anyone have any suggestions on how to get my shortcodes working again?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> Dave </p>
