mctagmap makes pages blank between V13.0.5 and V13.0.7

    Somewhere between version 13.0.5 and 13.0.7 (my weekly backups did not have 13.0.6 in there to check), and still present in 14.0.0, use of the mctagmap shortcodes anywhere in a page results in the page’s being blank except for the title. The generic WordPress menu at the top of the page is also missing.

    The HTML code it generates does have entries from the mctagmap plugin in there, but the page gets truncated at some point prior to getting to the /body tag, always after a line that includes a tag like:

    div class=”entry-content” itemprop=”text”

    (I’m leaving out the angle brackets in case they mess up a post here.)

    It is not a matter of a size limit as larger pages without the mctagmap codes are fine, but any page with mctagmap in it shows up blank, most likely because the ending HTML tags are missing.

    A typical use in this context might be:

    [mctagmap columns=”1″ basic=”yes” width=”800″ show_posts=”yes” post_tags=”vm” ]

    for a single line per entry list of posts with a tag of “vm”. However, a more typical index page, such as:

    [mctagmap columns=”3″ basic_heading=”yes” show_posts=”no” show_navigation=”yes” tag_count=”yes” ?]

    also displays the same problem.

    My workaround is to revert back to 13.0.5, but it would be nice to be able to stay current.

    See if 14.0.1 fixes the issues and if not, please post a link to your page.

    Unfortunately, 14.0.1 did not fix it, and this is a non-public, password-protected site, so it is not feasible to post a link. Is there some other way to get you the information you need?

    What I am seeing with 14.0.1 is that the page is being cut off shortly after the title for the page containing the the shortcode. There are no longer any of the details that would have come from mctagmap tagging (don’t know about any other code from it). Last part of the HTML in the source for a sample page that should have had a bunch of tag-based links is:

    <article id="post-584" class="post-584 page type-page status-publish" itemtype='https://schema.org/CreativeWork' itemscope='itemscope'>
	<div class="inside-article">
		
			<header class="entry-header">
				<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">Customer Profiles</h1>			</header><!-- .entry-header -->

		
		<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">

    Also, in case it helps, the theme is Generate Press (including some GP Premium additions).

    One more thing in case it may be helpful. The page from which I extracted the end part of the HTML above is meant to be almost complately generated by mctagmap. The total page entry in WordPress’ Text tab is:

    Click on a customer name to view more information on the client:

[mctagmap columns="1" basic="yes" width="800" show_posts="yes" post_tags="customer-profile" ]

    Note, in particular, that even the first line of pure text isn’t showing up in the generated page.

    With one exception, there is no custom CSS on the site. That one exception is simply using Simple CSS to make an HR be black (#000000). Any other CSS comes from the theme.

    Can you please send me an email to alan[at]tugbucket.net and let’s try to figure this out.

    Thanks

    Thanks, I just sent the requested email.

    I’ll be very interested in the solution to this, I’m facing a similar issue. I’m suspecting it has to do with the version of PHP we’re running on our server, but I can’t update that at the moment.

    Also, ours is on an internal site that I can’t publish here. Right now I’m trying to find a prior version I can roll back to using for now.

    @stacecom,

    rickatneptune and I are working this out. It seems it’s a PHP < 5.4 issue.

    Alright, grab 14.0.2 and see if that fixes things.

    Yes, perfect. Thanks!!!

    I concur, fixed it for me as well!
