Have you tried it without the include parameter?

My problem seems to be only when the image width is the only parameter, on pages where I was assuming the default behavior of incorporation of sub pages.

It seems to me that what has been lost is the defaults that are specified at https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-list/other_notes/ — so it is not picking up subpages without a specification, and where another parameter is used but image size not specified, it no longer defaults to the small 50px thumbnail width.

However, I tried coding it as
[pagelist_ext image_width=”100″ child_of”#”] where # is the page-id for the current page (in order to force inclusion of sub pages) — and that doesn’t work either.

From further testing, the code [pagelist_ext child_of=”#”] doesn’t work either -no matter what page is specified — so perhaps that could be the root of the problem.

If I simply use [pagelist_ext]- then it works fine — except the images are now showing larger than I would like them. (at 150px rather than 100px). I supposed I can fix that with my own custom CSS… but I’m trying to puzzle out what has gone wrong with the shortcode.

Again, it was working fine before the 4.4 WP upgrade.

This is on a site using a child of ThemeZee’s Smartline — switching to Twenty Fifteen didn’t help. I’ve tried deactivating various individual plugins, but that didn’t seem to make a difference either.

All the styles were in the theme’s main style.css file.

The css is actually quite simple — once I figured out what I needed to tweak. Here’s the CSS I amusing to create the effect seen in the “after” photo at the link posted above (with the rounded edge):

#bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption { background: rgba(147, 182, 201, 0.5); }
#bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption h2
		{ background: rgba(147, 182, 201, 0.4); border-radius: 50px 50px 0 0; text-align:center;}
#bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption p { background: rgba(28, 45, 78, 0.7); text-align:center; }
#bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption
	{ bottom: 0; left: 20px; right: 45%; padding-bottom: 10px; border-radius: 50px;}
#bootstrap-slider a.button {float: right; margin-right:30px; margin-bottom: 20px; }

The color of the Green “Learn More” button is currently set with the Theme Options (short codes/ buttons) – so it isn’t shown in the CSS.

Obviously my CSS is designed to reflect my themes colors — so you’d want to modify the colors specified to fit your own theme.

I’ve modified the CSS on my own to my satisfaction… so I’ve removed the screenshots … but I’m not particularly happy that I needed to spend all day repairing an issue on the home page of a live site.

From looking at the changes to underlying CSS, it is obvious that the new caption placement was intentional. While it may represent an improvement in the eyes of the developers– it’s a major inconvenience to users who have developed sites with the old caption placement in mind– including decisions about choices of web banner images.

I have resolved the problem. I don’t know what was wrong, but I had a csv file of about 240 links and it uploaded o.k. when broken into smaller files. The largest group I was able to upload at once without a problem was about 100 links. I didn’t find any other problem with my data but I will just keep in mind for the future not to try to import so many links at once.
