Title: Achievements Shortcode Not Working Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Achievements Shortcode Not Working * Resolved [producist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/producist/) * (@producist) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/achievements-shortcode-not-working/) * Hello, * I’m using the latest version of WordPress and BadgeOS. I’m using the Achievements shortcode to display the Missions we’ve created, however they aren’t showing on the page. I’ve included some screenshots to give a visual example of what my problem is. * Any help will be appreciated! * [http://postimg.org/image/thwlff4g7/](http://postimg.org/image/thwlff4g7/) * [http://postimg.org/image/4rryhpsgd/](http://postimg.org/image/4rryhpsgd/) * [http://postimg.org/image/s9mx0wcjb/](http://postimg.org/image/s9mx0wcjb/) * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/badgeos/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/badgeos/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/achievements-shortcode-not-working/#post-4491833) * could you paste me the shortcode exactly as you have it in your post editor? * Thread Starter [producist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/producist/) * (@producist) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/achievements-shortcode-not-working/#post-4491871) * [badgeos_achievements_list type=missions show_filter=false show_search=false limit=4] * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/achievements-shortcode-not-working/#post-4491897) * I’m not sure why, but for some reason, it appears that you’re not getting a value assigned to a $post_type_plural variable used within one of the ajax function callbacks for post listing. * Specifically this line: `$achievements .= '

' . sprintf( __( 'No %s to display at this time.', 'badgeos' ), strtolower( $post_type_plural ) ) . '

';` Thus why you’re seeing “No to display at this time”. The question is why. * How comfortable are you with editing php and whatnot? Also is this on a live site or is it all on a dev install that you can temporarily break? * Thread Starter [producist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/producist/) * (@producist) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/achievements-shortcode-not-working/#post-4491898) * I’m comfortable editing php with the right guidance. And it’s on a dev install. On our staging area in WPEngine. * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/achievements-shortcode-not-working/#post-4491901) * I’m curious what’s getting returned by this function call, in `includes/ajax- functions.php` around line 156. * If you could provide the returned output from the following, that’d be awesome. Put that around line 157 in the ajax-functions.php file, and then refresh the page. * ``` var_dump( get_post_type_object( current( $type ) ) ); ``` * Hopefully that makes sense. * [waynmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waynmeyer/) * (@waynmeyer) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/achievements-shortcode-not-working/#post-4491912) * Hey Producist and Michael * sorry to just drop in and ask on your forum, however im having the exact same issue. When i use the shortcodes i am only able to see all achievements, however as soon as i want to filter by type, im unable to do so and i got no idea why. Any fix for this yet? what i have done was created a custom page template with do shortcode: * `` * Only to find the exact same problem producist has.
