Title: [insert_php] legacy code not working Last modified: July 22, 2019 --- # [insert_php] legacy code not working * Resolved [debuger25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debuger25/) * (@debuger25) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert_php-legacy-code-not-working/) * Good Morning, After the “php insert” plugin got updated, php code in my webpage stopped working(I haven’t changed the code in this page). I have tried turning on and off “Support old shortcodes [insert_php]” setting, deactivating and reactivating the plugin, uninstalling the plugin in with the Complete Uninstall option turned on and reinstalling the plugin. But I still can’t get these legacy php code to work. * Result when “Support old shortcodes [insert_php]” turned off: [http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/OldShortcodeTurnedOff.jpg](http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/OldShortcodeTurnedOff.jpg) * Changing setting to ON position: [http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/OldShortcodeTurnedOnSettings.jpg](http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/OldShortcodeTurnedOnSettings.jpg) * Result when “Support old shortcodes [insert_php]” turned ON: [http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/OldShortcodeTurnedOn.jpg](http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/OldShortcodeTurnedOn.jpg) * I haven’t modified the php code in my original “contact us” page.

Check your code. * To make sure everything works, add this code to the post: `[insert_php]echo " It's work!";[/insert_php]` * Thread Starter [debuger25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debuger25/) * (@debuger25) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert_php-legacy-code-not-working/#post-11758516) * Hello Temyk. Thank you for the reply. I see that the old [insert_php]..[/insert_php] works. I was able to point out that the following php code is what stopped working with the updated plugin. This same code used to work fine before the plugin got updated (this code is provided by google for ReCaptcha): * [insert_php] $secret = “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”; // your secret key $response = null;// empty response $reCaptcha = new ReCaptcha($secret);// check secret key $response = $reCaptcha->verifyResponse($_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”], $_POST[“g- recaptcha-response”]); if ($response != null && $response->success) { exit(0);[/ insert_php] * Please let me know if you have any idea about why this peace of php code stopped working. It used to work fine before and I haven’t made any changes to it. * [Temyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtemyk/) * (@webtemyk) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert_php-legacy-code-not-working/#post-11758593) * Judging by the blank page, you have PHP errors. You need to include WordPress error log. In wp-config.php: define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true ); define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true ); // /wp-content/debug.log * Find the bug yourself or send it to me. * Thread Starter [debuger25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debuger25/) * (@debuger25) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert_php-legacy-code-not-working/#post-11758860) * Following is the error I get (you can see this by going to: [http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/contact/](http://www.chfoundationlubbock.com/contact/) * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/chfounda/public_html/ wp-content/plugins/insert-php/includes/shortcodes/shortcode-insert-php.php(25): eval()’d code on line 8 * I think another issue could be that google recaptcha deprecating code in their recaptchalib.php file as well. ReCaptcha has a deprecated constructor * Thank you for the help. * [Temyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtemyk/) * (@webtemyk) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert_php-legacy-code-not-working/#post-11758989) * You have deprecated PHP code in the plugin jquery-image-gallery, but it does not affect the work. * Your code is missing a closing brace: [insert_php] $secret = “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”;// your secret key $response = null;// empty response $reCaptcha = new ReCaptcha( $secret);// check secret key $response = $reCaptcha->verifyResponse($_SERVER[“ REMOTE_ADDR”], $_POST[“g-recaptcha-response”]); if ($response != null && $response- >success) { exit(0); } [/insert_php] - This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [Temyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtemyk/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [Temyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtemyk/). * Thread Starter [debuger25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debuger25/) * (@debuger25) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert_php-legacy-code-not-working/#post-11759146) * Hello Temyk, Thank you so much for helping me with this and pointing out my error.
