Shortcodes not working

Are you adding the short codes in the html side of the editor, try that and see if it will work that way.

Ok was curious about that as I have some issues like this with the editor, not displaying code correctly, but your issue sounds like a parsing issue, I would check the plugin itself to see how it parses the short codes, to see if there is a path issue.

have you tried the default theme to see if it is a theme issue,

sure just covering the basics, you should be able to do a preview test in the panel, to see if the short code parses correctly if it does then you know that you need to look at the theme PHP to find a solution, I use genesis too, and I have not been able to use all the child themes, as some do not work well with plugins, if you like the church theme, you may need to make an adjustment in the code.

I found a reference, you might be able to make work, http://dev.studiopress.com/post-taxonomy-shortcode.htm

I looked at the church template, and I guess this would probably be better on the SP website, but since were here right now, and were not sure the exact cause of this,

One thing I saw in the code, (and there was a lot of stuff in there)

was that they declare headers, which might be an issue, before you go down the rabbit hole after this thing, you may need to test out by activating the default theme, and setting up the short code in the admin section, admin.php I think, from what small amount of time I spent on it, from the two posts, I saw on SP, it appears that you may have to manage the short codes separate of the normal method, but you wont know this until you know for sure if it is in the theme or not.

That would be my next attempt at testing out where the issue is, once you find out where the problem is you can find a way to fix it,

// Register [sermon] shortcode handler
	add_shortcode('sermons', 'sb_shortcode');
	add_shortcode('sermon', 'sb_shortcode');

One thing I noticed right away was that I could not find these files loading in your header, `// Register custom CSS and javascript files
wp_register_script(‘sb_64′, SB_PLUGIN_URL.’/sb-includes/64.js’, false, SB_CURRENT_VERSION);
wp_register_script(‘sb_datepicker’, SB_PLUGIN_URL.’/sb-includes/datePicker.js’, array(‘jquery’), SB_CURRENT_VERSION);
wp_register_style(‘sb_datepicker’, SB_PLUGIN_URL.’/sb-includes/datepicker.css’, false, SB_CURRENT_VERSION);
if (get_option(‘permalink_structure’) == ”)
wp_register_style(‘sb_style’, trailingslashit(site_url()).’?sb-style&’, false, sb_get_option(‘style_date_modified’));
else
wp_register_style(‘sb_style’, trailingslashit(site_url()).’sb-style.css’, false, sb_get_option(‘style_date_modified’));`

So you know that if your js files and css files are not loading then that is just one problem,

in sermon.php

this is one place where you might have a look at tracing the call from the theme to the plugin, but if your js scripts are not loading, then that is a path issue,

/**
* Main initialisation function
*
* Sets up most WordPress hooks and filters, depending on whether request is for front or back end.
*/
function sb_sermon_init () {
	global $sermon_domain, $wpdb, $defaultMultiForm, $defaultSingleForm, $defaultStyle;
	$sermon_domain = 'sermon-browser';
	if (IS_MU) {
			load_plugin_textdomain($sermon_domain, '', 'sb-includes');
	} else {
			load_plugin_textdomain($sermon_domain, '', 'sermon-browser/sb-includes');
	}
	if (WPLANG != '')
		setlocale(LC_ALL, WPLANG.'.UTF-8');

it might just be the missing js scripting, but I have not really looked at how it is connected yet, again once you know for sure that the theme is the problem you can start down the rabbit hole,

Well that certainly puts a hole in the it must be the theme theory,

I will do some testing to see if I can reproduce the issue and find another place to look for an answer,

And you’re using WordPress 3.1.3? If not, please post a new topic.
