No results – current post id didn’t get populated

Hi keesiemeijer,

I’ve installed your plugin due to it seems it matches the requirements I have.

There’s the issue that no results are showed. I’ve tried different post types and implementation per shortcode, widget and sitewide with your functions.ini instructions.

All methods end up with no results:

The current post id shown by your debugger is not populated so that no matching can take place.

Weird is that the shortcode args array is showing this id.

Tests to hardcode the id in the shortcode with the ‘post_id’ argument also end ub with no results and a not populated current post id.

Background:
The 3 custom post types (glossar,faq,news) has been created using CPT UI.
1 of them should have 2 rpbt shortcodes to show 5 links for each of the other two types.
It’s a child theme of yootheme pro.

It would be great if you have an idea about the root cause.
