I had the same problem with auto attachments enabled and they all disappeared using version 2.0 with WP 3.7.1 (manual shortcode atachments also disappeared), so I reverted to 1.9.4.5, which is working fine on my site. Glad to have the older versions available on the Developers tab, thanks EG. It’s a very nice plugin, so I look forward to a fix.
This confirms it must be a problem with auto attachments, I will try disabling them before trying another update! 🙂 I agree that it is a very nice plugin.
Hi,
Can you give the syntax you are using for the shortcode? (I mean all parameters)
Emmanuel.
I’m not an expert and I’m not sure this is what you want, but this is the shortcode of a page [attachments orderby=”id ASC” docid=”1690,1689,1688″] where I attached documents manually.
But the problem seems to be auto-attachments (where there is no shortcode), and the strange thing is that, on going back and forth between versions (I’m now back at 1.9.4.5)they don’t work anymore even though the settings are fine. I have decided to disable them and I might try upgrading again …
I have noticed (but it might not be significant) that in eg-attachments-config.inc.php (which in the community we were taught to configure to have an h3 title to our attachments)the line ‘shortcode_auto’ => 0, even when autoshortcodes are activated.
Hi,
The file eg-attachments-config.inc.php is containing only the default values of the plugin options.
The real options values are stored in the wp_options table of the WordPress database.
I have to understand better what happen exactly (What is displayed and when)
– If you have a page with a “manual” shortcode only (like [attachments orderby=”id ASC” docid=”1690,1689,1688″]), do you see the attachment?
– If you have a page without shortcode, with “Auto shortcode” enabled, do you see something?
– If you have a page with a manual shortcode, and the “Auto shortcode” activated, what do you see?
– If the Auto shortcode is activated, did you activate the option “Auto/Manual” (do not fire the auto shortcode, when a manual shortcode is detected)?
Emmanuel.
I can tell you that before I updated the other day I had auto shortcode enabled and the option “auto/manual” too.
After the update, ALL attachments disappeared, whether they had been addedd manually (before I activated auto shortcode) or automatically.
I reverted to the previous version, they reappeared; I tried the update again, they disappeared, went back to the old one again and only the ones added manually reappeared. (This last bit is very puzzling, but I am just an English teacher who takes care of her school’s website…)
I have also tried deactivating the auto shortcodes and tried the update again (all shotcodes are manually added to my pages now) but no way, attachments disappear. Back to 1.9.4.5 ….
Thanks for your attention
Claudia
Hi
Do you use a pre-defined format (Large, Medium, Small), or a custom format?
Emmanuel.
I don’t used custom format, though I can’t find where I made the choice on which predefined format to use (I can see a choice only inside the auto shortcodes area, which I have disabled).
As for now, 1.9.4.5 without auto shortcodes is working fine so I’m not too bothered 🙂

2.0 doesn’t work for us either. It appears that all the templates are gone. I am also unable to delete the newer version. It displays the white screen and never finishes.
Thanks.

If you write to me: claudia dot cantaluppi at setificio dot gov dot it
I can send it to you. To replace the new version with the old one, I deactivated the plugin, manually deleted the folder via ftp, uploaded (still using ftp) the old one and reactivated it. I’m not sure it’s necessary to deactivate it but I think it’s safer to. Claudia
Thank you very much for the offer, Claudia. That’s very kind of you. We have decided to just go with a different plug-in. Thanks again.
