Finally stopped working

  • Although this was not a very user-friendly tool (except for programmers), it was extremely versatile and remained quite useful for many years. However, after upgrading a client site from WordPress 5.3 to 5.6, it finally broke. It works somewhat, but not correctly. Links created in each loop iteration are now left with an untranslated shorcode in place of a specific post name/address, as in “https: / / mydomain.com/[url]”.

    Oh, well, I’m pretty sure I got my money’s worth out of it. So, I cannot complain.

    However, if anyone knows of or can find a fix for it before I have dispensed with it’s use, I would be appreciative.

    A quick test of the plugin on my WP5.6 install looks okay.

    Are you able to reproduce the problem outside of your client’s site? If possible, can you deactivate some other plugins to see if there’s a conflict? Were any other plugins updated at the same time?

    You’ve probably already tried resaving the widget, but if you haven’t that’s good to try too.

    Any other additional details you can provide could help narrow down why it works on my side but not on yours. /wp-admin/site-health.php?tab=debug provides a bunch of info if you’re comfortable sharing that.

    Thank you for replying to my request.

    I did try the site health debugger. It did not seem to contain anything helpful. But, it is attached at the bottom of this response.

    Only 3 plugins other than Mini Loops were active. At your prompting, I tried removing all three. But, no change. I’m unsure what resaving the widget is about. But, I am not using the Mini Loops widget, just shortcodes in the main content area, such as below (line breaks added to make it a little easier to read).

    <ul>
	[miniloop categories="3" number_posts=4]
	<li class="[class]" style="clear: both;">
		<a class="alignright" href="[url]">[image from="thumb,first" fallback="?attachment_id=158" width=150 height=150 crop=1]</a>
		<a href="[url]">[title]</a>
		[excerpt length=-1 strip_tags=1 strip_shortcodes=0 space_between=1 after="... more" after_link=1]
		</li>
		[/miniloop]
	</ul>

    Upon closer inspection, it appears the URL shortcode is the only one not working correctly. I also noticed that address of the page with the shortcode is inserted, leaving the shortcode. And, when I tried adding the “ml_” prefix, the entire address went away along with the shortcode.

    Using “[url]” resolves to “https://mydomain.com/currentpage/%5Burl%5D&#8221;.
    Using “[ml_url]” resolves to “” (null).

    Sorry for the 4 month pause there…

    I’ve pushed out an update (v1.4) that should help. My GitHub repo for this plugin will now sync to www.remarpro.com, so future updates should be much easier.
