[Plugin: dsIDXpress] 1.1.12 Resets ALL Shortcodes!

    Be very careful when upgrading to the latest plugin version as it resets ALL your idx-listings short code to the default “real estate.” So if you have a page on your WP site that is only showing homes in Gilbert AZ, it will be reset to show “real estate” which is everything in the MLS.

    The only fix I noticed was going through every single page and clicking the Update button. Which isn’t a big deal when you only have a few custom linkid’s, but when you you have hundreds of pages that need to be re-Updated… that’s when it becomes an unnecessary waste of time.

    Last time I updated the plugin it crashed the MYSQL database, now it resets all the shortcodes, I guess it’s dangerous to update this plugin – unless you have plenty of free time. ??

  • Chris, we’re desperately trying to figure out what is happening here. I’m REALLY hoping you didn’t “fix” all of them yet, because we can’t reproduce this, and you’re the only one that has mentioned this problem.

    The main thing we can’t figure out is that the way shortcodes work, your bug report doesn’t 100% add up right. Updating the plugin doesn’t touch your posts, and updating posts doesn’t trigger anything with dsIDXpress. Each shortcode is dynamically built when the page is loaded (and then cached for 2hrs). Updating a post wouldn’t do anything unless you’ve got a caching plugin.

    We’d like you to contact [email protected] so we can get to the bottom of this.

    Thanks!
