OK, I think there may be Nothing To See Here, WordPress Folks:

A thought occurred to me: What if this weird behavior is due to the last moment application of CSS?

I disabled the CSS going against the main class in the div surrounding the shortcode output. (I disabled it by temporarily renaming the class…)

And now, all three numbers are on screen, i.e.,

Three shortcodes, called with three unique IDs — three results on screen.

My conclusion: Weird behavior due to final application of CSS.

Thanks so much! Good advice.

I just found this, in their Javascript include:

$('<style>').text('.occupancy-report .occ-graph .circle-fill {stroke-dashoffset: '+cssFill+' !important;}').appendTo(document.head);

Suspicious to me!

Thanks! It’s not my code, it’s a Vendor’s code, so I can ‘t really post it here.

That said, I’ve been over it again and again and it is working as expected: Witness, if I put three different shortcodes on three different pages, I get the expected results.

The unexpected issue happens when I have multiple shortcodes on a single page. (Hence my concentration when looking at the Vendor code, making sure ob_start()/return ob_get_clean(); was correct. It is.)

I feel like there is some kind of final stage DOM refresh that’s happening, resulting in this weird behavior. The Page sez, “Yeah, I’ve loaded the content of all three shortcodes, as you can briefly see, but now I’m going to go back, clear everything, and render all three with the value of the first one on the page.”

?!

More: While I’m trying to figure this out, I decided to Deactivate Polylang on my site.

404s went away and did not come back! I.e., Permalinks are stable.

However, while my homepage is in English, everything else is in French.

Thinking. Searching….

Just reporting back….

This:

“I think for Prudence’ Sake I’m just going to do everything at once (rather than try a DNS Switcheroo at the very end): Take snapshot on Old. change DNS on New, build fresh single WP instance, promote to Multisite, restore snapshot into it.”

That’s what I did last evening and this morning. All up and running on new RHEL9/PHP8 VM with new IP but same old DNS! Migration complete.
