the only way you can use shortcodes with Organize Series is if you have the shortcodes addon purchased via organizeseries.com … What shortcodes are you referring to?

thanks for posting back here.

The next place I’d check would be the archive templates. This is the kind of thing that I help resolve for customers who have purchased the Basic Support package at organizeseries.com. Sorry David, but that’s the limit of the free support I can give.

I haven’t seen this behaviour on any of the 10+ sites I maintain that have Organize Series installed.

There are a number of things you can do to try and track down the problem:

1. Verify you have PHP 5.2+ installed on your server. Organize Series requires it.
2. Try temporarily deactivating your theme (yes even though it’s happening in the admin) and activating the default 2011 WordPress theme. If everything works well after that you ‘ll know there is a conflict with your theme.
3. If you still have problems after the above, try deactivating all your plugins except for Organize Series and see if you still get the problems. If you don’t then you have another plugin creating a conflict.
4. You can also try enabling WP_DEBUG to see if it shows any errors.

zak start looking at any other differences between your localhost setup and remote. I see you deactivated all other plugins, are the themes the same too?

I don’t *think* it’s an incompatibility between versions as your remote host is using the minimum PHP version.

You also may want to try turning on WP_Debug and take a look at your javascript console as well, to see if there are any errors showing up on your remote host vs. your localhost as that could provide clues for what’s going on.

I’m unable to reproduce this on any of my test beds at this point so that’s all I can help you with for now.

That is definitely a weird bug… I can’t reproduce on any of my installs. Do you have any other plugins active that utilize the WordPress taxonomy system? Or maybe does your theme does things with the WordPress taxonomy system?

It sounds like a theme/plugin conflict happening here. At any rate, in your specific case I consider this resolved b/c you have a workaround. If you want to do more investigation to try and figure out the cause I would suggest doing the following (all the steps below are just temporary to troubleshoot):

1. Switch to the default twenty-eleven theme that ships with WordPress. Are you able to reproduce? If yes, then you know it’s not a theme issue. If no, then you know it’s your theme causing the confict – no further steps necessary – just let me know the theme.

2. Deactivate all your plugins except for Organize Series. Are you able to reproduce the issue? If no, then one by one activate the other plugins and try to reproduce the issue. Once you discover the plugin that causes the conflict let me know.

If you do investigate this further and find out if it’s either a theme or plugin conflict let me know and I’ll take a gander if I get a chance to see if this is something needing fixed on my end.

A couple questions:

1. Are you a brand new user?
2. I’m assuming you’re using the latest version of Organize Series and WordPress?
3. Try visiting your “permalinks” page in your WP-Admin and resaving it. See if that fixes things.

Hey pxlar,

You’ve got a support package on organizeseries.com – if you still need help with this question post on the support forums there and I’d be glad to give some suggestions.
