[members-list] not showing anything w/ newest update (4.0.3)

At the risk of being told to start my own thread, I just want to second this and say that I too am having this same experience with the plugin and hoping for a timely resolution.

I just purchased the pro version last week and had the same problem. It appears that that installation script does not add a code snipped to your theme’s function.php file. I added the following snipped to the functions.php file of my current theme (twenty-fourteen in this case) before the line containing function twentyfourteen_widgets_init().

function display_memberlist() {
	ob_start();
	$members = new tern_members;
	$members->members( array(  'search' => false, 'alpha' => false, 'pagination' => false, 'pagination2' => true, 'sort' => false, ) );
	$html = ob_get_clean();
	return $html;
}
add_shortcode('teamlist', 'display_memberlist');

The add shortcode wizard when adding a post then worked.

Thank you for sharing that rickannino – I have just tried your solution, but for me, unfortunately, although the issues were partially resolved by way of a second plugin update since the one that caused things to stop functioning, I am still seeing errors and am still experiencing lost functionality.

Kudos to the developer though, as he has been forthcoming with email.

Two other things that might have been contributing factors for me:

1. I may have been in Text mode rather than Visual mode when I tried to use the short code wizard. In visual mode the shortcode worked.

2. When typing in the short code you need to include the list id since you now have multiple lists. I had been wondering how you specify which list you wanted to include in this post. So the simplest format of the short code is actually:

[member-list id=1]

or more complete:

[members-list id=1 search=true radius=true alpha=true pagination=true sort=true]

assuming that you want your first or only list to be displayed.

The Pro version allows you to associate all the fields, search and sorting parameters with each list with the list id which can be handy.

The issue is that the latest version of the plugin is drastically different from the older version. Therefore, all lists, display fields, sort, and search fields need to be deleted and recreated from scratch.

It’s not ideal but the newest version is superior.

Alright, thanks for your reply.

I got it semi-working again by deleting all folders/files then installing latest version, making a new list and putting that shortcode on the page (in text mode).

It now appeared on the page, except for all user names, description. However, the only thing showing were the search/sort fields and the gravatars.

I then deleted all display fields, sort and search fields and added them from scratch.

New problem occured: I can’t delete search fields. It just gives an error.
It just shows a red box with the message “There was an error.”

Even worse; it now breaks the whole page. It now doesn’t even show the regular text that was before the shortcode. Sidebar and admin bar are gone as well..

The latest version of the plugin should fix these issues.
