    Is this really the correct shortcode?

    [abj404_solution_page_suggestions]

    When I paste it in – nothing shows up.

    Thanks

  • I have the same problem. Curiously, the suggestions show up when I’m logged in, but they are invisible to visitors.

    I’m not sure how to reproduce either of your issues because it’s working on my test site.

    There are a number of things to keep in mind that are necessary to make this work.
    1) Note that pasting the shortcode won’t work because it will appear as text. You have to add a “shortcode” block for the shortcode to work.
    2) If you go directly to the page it will be blank. The shortcode only shows items when the user has been redirected there from a missing page.
    3) Because of (2), the only way the shortcode will work is if the setting “Redirect all unhandled 404s to” is set to a custom page that has the shortcode in it.

    You can test it by verifying all of those things, then typing in a URL that both does not exist, and also that does not have an existing redirect for it already.

    Let me know if that’s helpful.

    thanks

    Since I haven’t heard back I’ll assume this is resolved. Let me know if you’re still having trouble.

    I switched to another plugin.

    Plugin still not working. It shows gibberish suggestions totally unrelated to the URL slug, like the privacy policy page and contact form page. I got tired and removed the plugin.
