    Hi,

    I’ve tried many different short codes, non of which work. I have tried some from plugins I have installed and some basic wordpress ones to try to determine if it is a plugin issue or not. Have also tried different themes like Community Builder and Twenty Twenty.

    Here is a few I’ve tried.

    [bp-members-list] Buddypress is installed this outputs [bp-members-list] on page
    [mpp-list-gallery] Mediapress is installed this outputs nothing on page have also tried adding options such as type and components
    [recent-posts] outputs [recent-posts]

    Any ideas will be welcomed, thanks in advance.

    See if this is similar: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-only-work-when-logged-into-wordpress/
    You didn’t say whether you are using Classic editor or shortcode blocks, or which version of WP.

    Hi Joy,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am using classic editor with shortcode blocks, all latest versions of wordpress and all plugins are up to date.

    Thanks for the link, I have taken a look and can see his was specific to a slider plugin issue.

    I have searched all plugins for a DOMContentLoaded event tickbox as mention in the thread, non of my plugins intalled have it.

    I have also tried to insert the shortcode within php in the header and still no luck, you can see from the screen shots what is out putted – basically the same as putting the shortcodes into clasic editor.

    I deactivated all plugins one at a time and tried the twenty twenty theme when doing so too.

    I am at a loss… :-/

    EDIT:

    I have tried other plugins and some shortcodesd are working but some aren’t. I have checked in the plugin folders to see if they contain shortcodes.php and they do…

    EDIT:

    I’ve narrowed it down to…

    Buddypress shortcodes not working – but addon shortcodes do like ‘featured members’ and featured groups’
    Mediapress
    Generic Wp shortocdes like [recent-posts] etc

    This is a bit confusing since there are no blocks in the Classic editor.

    some basic wordpress ones to try to determine if it is a plugin issue or not

    None of the ones you listed were from WordPress. WordPress has [gallery] [video] [audio] [embed]

    Generic Wp shortocdes like [recent-posts] etc

    That is not a WordPress shortcode either.

    Thanks for the link, I have taken a look and can see his was specific to a slider plugin issue.

    No, the other person had trouble because of a caching or optimizing plugin. The shortcode in use was a slider.

    Shortcodes will show the shortcode (not processed) if there is no plugin defining the shortcode (except for WP shortcodes).

    Using classic editor entering shortcodes in a block as already stated eg [shortcode]

    some basic wordpress ones to try to determine if it is a plugin issue or not

    None of the ones you listed were from WordPress. WordPress has [gallery] [video] [audio] [embed]

    I have also tried [video] with no luck

    Shortcodes will show the shortcode (not processed) if there is no plugin defining the shortcode (except for WP shortcodes).

    I understand that, that’s why I’m asking for suggestions for a solution. As stated in my intial post ALL plugins are installed, up to date and working.

    Buddypress is installed this outputs…
    Mediapress is installed this outputs nothing…

    Thanks for your input I shall try again.
