Error message: Empty content or probably a shortcode

Hi @radovand

The error message you’re encountering, “Empty content or probably a shortcode,” indicates that the content on the page might be too short or that a shortcode is being used.

To help me better understand the issue and assist you further, could you please share a screenshot of the edit mode of your page where you’re experiencing this problem?

Looking forward to your response so we can work together to resolve this issue.

Hi Seno,

The site is done with Flatsome theme, and I used UX Builder to edit the pages and posts.
All but one post has been indexed.
When indexing all pages I got the error “Empty content or probably a shortcode” with 2 exceptions: the “Member Login” page and another one, which are unpublished pages (Draft).

That’s what a page code looks like:

Hello @radovand

Sorry for late reply on this as I was busy with the plugin translation for couple of days.

Please note that our embedding module is currently treating shortcodes as empty content, which is causing the error message you’ve encountered.

I am actively working on updating the plugin to ensure compatibility with various design tools, themes, and plugins. I plan to address compatibility with the Flatsome theme as well. However, I cannot provide a specific timeline for when this update will be available.

In the meantime, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

Hy I have same issue

All the pages get the same error message Empty content or probably a shortcode” except one, which contain legal info, could you help ?

Im facing the same issue with Divi builder, all pages, posts and products are showing the same error when embedding “Empty content or probably a shortcode

I’m getting the same error on my entire site. On the pages and in the products section. My site is designed with Divi

Getting same error for all pages built with WP-Bakery.

Hello everyone,

The reason for this issue is that our plugin requires the post_content field to function properly. If this field contains a shortcode or is empty, the plugin will not process the page. I’m currently working to make it compatible with Divi and other third-party tools.
