The issue was my Row tags needed to be outside my foreach loop: * ```wp-block-code $output = '[GDC_row]';foreach ($selected_comparisonIDs as $thisComparisonID) {// Define the specific post ID you want to display$specific_post_id = $thisComparisonID; // Replace 26 with your actual post ID// Arguments for WP_Query$args = array('p' => $specific_post_id, // Query the specific post ID'post_type' => 'any', // Set post type to 'any' to ensure it finds pages, custom post types, etc.);// Create a new WP_Query instance$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );// Start The Loopif ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();$output .= '[GDC_column size="third"]';$output .= '

' . get_the_title() . '

';// Capture the template part outputob_start();get_template_part( '/template-parts/content-fulldisplay' );$output .= ob_get_clean();$output .= '[/GDC_column]';endwhile;endif;// Reset Post Data to restore the original query (important if you have a main loop elsewhere on the page)wp_reset_postdata();}$output .= '[/GDC_row]';// Process all shortcodes at onceecho do_shortcode( $output ); ``` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Grid Shortcodes] Via do_shortcode() in template?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/via-do_shortcode-in-template/) * Thread Starter [mcyzyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcyzyk/) * (@mcyzyk) * [4 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/via-do_shortcode-in-template/#post-18821566) * Ok, Claude clued me in. Looks like you need to build a big string of your content first, then feed it to the do_shortcode() function for interpretation/execution all at once: * ```wp-block-code // Build the entire shortcode string first$output = '[GDC_row]';// Start The Loopif ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();$output .= '[GDC_column size="third"]';$output .= '

' . get_the_title() . '

';// Capture the template part outputob_start();get_template_part( '/template-parts/content-fulldisplay' );$output .= ob_get_clean();$output .= '[/GDC_column]';endwhile;endif;$output .= '[/GDC_row]';// Process all shortcodes at onceecho do_shortcode( $output );// Reset Post Data to restore the original query (important if you have a main loop elsewhere on the page)wp_reset_postdata(); ``` * This works, sort of. It gives me a single row with 1 column that’s a third of the screen. I want a single row with 3 columns. - This reply was modified 4 months, 1 week ago by [mcyzyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcyzyk/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Search Regex] RegEx valid; RegEx in Search Regex not findning anything](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/regex-valid-regex-in-search-regex-not-findning-anything/) * Thread Starter [mcyzyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcyzyk/) * (@mcyzyk) * [6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/regex-valid-regex-in-search-regex-not-findning-anything/#post-18764551) * Good to know about the incompatibility. * Much appreciation for a very useful plugin. * Mark * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Search Regex] RegEx valid; RegEx in Search Regex not findning anything](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/regex-valid-regex-in-search-regex-not-findning-anything/) * Thread Starter [mcyzyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcyzyk/) * (@mcyzyk) * [6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/regex-valid-regex-in-search-regex-not-findning-anything/#post-18759880) * Does anyone have thoughts on why my RegEx works in regex101.com but not in Search Regex?

It does NOT change links in the _text _of Posts as part of the migration process.
