  • Ah. Apologies for this. There is no foolproof way to test the update process of a plugin without releasing the update to everyone first.

    Shortly after the 2.0 update which introduced this problem, I released another update that fixed it. You must have updated your plugins before I was able to push out the fix and WordPress isn’t telling you about the new update yet.

    If you’re not seeing an update to version 2.0.5 for this plugin in your WordPress admin, it is because WordPress only checks for new updates periodically.

    You can either wait for the delay period to expire (12 hours from the last plugin update check), or force it to check for updates now. I have instructions for forcing it at the bottom of this reply.

    F.Y.I., your shortcodes are not lost, it’s just that any shortcodes created prior to 2.0.0 aren’t being displayed properly. So once you update, you should see them listed, and they should go back to working as before.

    Sorry for the problems.

    Forcing Plugin Update Checks
    The easiest way to force plugin update checks is to use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/force-plugin-updates-check/.

    If you’d rather not use the plugin, or it isn’t working properly, the next easiest way to force a plugin update is to delete the _site_transient_update_plugins option from the wp_options table in your database. If you can access your database and execute the following SQL query, then WordPress should check for updates the next time you load your site.

    UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='' WHERE option_name='_site_transient_update_plugins';

    This assumes that you use the default table prefixes in your database. If not, adjust wp_options appropriately… MYPREFIX_options

    Sorry for not mentionning. I was having this problem from 2.0.5. I’m now at 2.0.11, and still no shortcode.

    I’ll help you debug if you tell me what to do. I’m on jabber for IM if you need.

    Can you try deactivating and reactivating the plugin?

    This will force the plugin to reevaluate its situation and, hopefully, fix itself.
