no, since the update to 3.2 it’s no longer working. It is just showing the shortcode in the menu instead of what it’s supposed to show.
3.1 was working fine.
I have updated the plugin to 3.2 at which point it no longer functioned. I have tried deactivating and reactivating it. I have also tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling it. Same results.
I’ve just now tested it out with WordPress 4.7.5, installing directly from WordPress.org, on this dev site http://shortcodeinmenus.dev.gagan.pro/
and it appears to be working as of now.
Yes, that is great for you. But not so great for me, because for me it is not working.
I am quite aware how to add a shortcode. As I said, the menus created with the previous version were working fine.
Since upgrading to the current version, they are not working. It is just adding the shortcode into the menu item URL, instead of the code behind the shortcode. Details posted above. I had also tested with your [gs_test_shortcode] and that did not work either. WordPress version 4.7.5
I have since rolled back to a backup running 3.1 of this plugin and it is once again working.
If one person is reporting an issue, guaranteed 1000 other people are experiencing the issue but not reporting it. Please look into this issue thanks.
In both the images, the version thats being displayed is the 3.2(in the plugins list).
Trying my best to re-create the issue you are facing, one guess I’m having is, it could be opcache, if its configured to ignore the timestamps on PHP files, this is usually done on production servers where PHP files are not going to change, but to resolve the issue, all thats needed is reload the PHP FPM.
Can you please provide me with the list of plugins you’re using on the site, so that I can try to create a testing environment with the same?
Sorry I screwed up the image I made for 3.1, but rest assured the top image was 3.1 and the bottom was 3.2. I can do it again if you really need it. I have already restored back to 3.1
Again, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s working for you, that’s great as long as you are the only person using it. As it stands, it is not working for me as soon as I upgrade it. You can tell me it’s working for you a million times, doesn’t do anything to identify why it’s not working for me, and probably loads of other people too. Shame because 3.1 worked fine with no problems, and gave a good solution to the problem of having shortcodes in menus. Now I will have to use 3.1 or find a different solution, unless you can figure out where the problem is.
Buddy, I really need to find the error, since you are having it, and it could be that other people also might, at least you are trying to help making the plugin better by reporting the issue and helping me debug it.
Just so you know, I’ve tested the plugin with the following setups:
PHP5.6 WP4.7.5
PHP5.6 WP4.5
PHP7.0 WP 4.7.5
PHP7.1 WP 4.7.5
Both with and without these two plugins
BuddyPress
Buddypress Profile Shortcodes
Unless I’m able to replicate the issue you’re having, its like becoming something like throwing darts in the dark, with no idea where your target is.
Could you help me out with the following:
PHP Version
MySQL Version?
List of all the plugins
Active Theme
Having this, I’ll try to create a test rig, with exactly your setup, maybe one of the plugins or theme is acting out differently to the new update.
I tested out in Firefox also, I was using Firefox Developer edition, it was working in that, so I installed the normal edition of Firefox as well, just to check out if thats the case.
Here’s the screencast I made for the testing, still puzzled, how its not working, since what I did was basically move two files in different folders and changed the include path. Logically does not making any sense to me.
of course I am happy to help you debug this, I need it 🙂
I was deactivating my plugins, I saw something very quickly just as the page was loading. It said something like ‘shortcodes in menus has been deactivated due to an invalid header’, and the shortcodes plugin had been deactivated. I tried to reactivate it again to get the same error but so far it has not come back.
So here is some more info:
Wordpress version 4.7.5
PHP version 5.6.30
MySQL version 5.0.11
Theme: Kleo
I tried to test it in a different theme but these menus are set up in Kleo so it will be hard. Maybe Fenix5000 can test that part?

However, I have now deactivated most all of my plugins to check this. Now I am running only:

And the problem is the same.
I think the problem might be with that error I mentioned at the top. It still has not come back, otherwise I would have gotten a screen shot for you.
