[Plugin: Google Doc Embedder] Not working correctly all the sudden

Hi there,

I’m not catching in your message exactly what the problem you’re having is. I’m able to embed that URL fine on my test page. However on some servers you may have trouble with files with spaces in the name. You could try renaming it to use hyphens or underscores instead to bypass that potential issue.

Otherwise perhaps you could explain exactly what’s going wrong? Use the Support link in your plugin list next to Google Doc Embedder to send me the shortcode you’re using and so forth.

Thanks

Kevin

here’s a couple examples of post
When I originally posted them, couple weeks ago the actual PDF dispayed correctly

now all that i see is
[gview file=”https://www.vintageboat.org/2012%20Boat%20Show%20Poster.pdf” save=”1″] not the actual PDF

That help?

Thanks

If you mean now you’re seeing the actual shortcode text in your page or post, here are some possible causes:

1) Google Doc Embedder plugin is not activated.

2) Another plugin is conflicting or breaking shortcodes.

3) There’s code behind (visible only from the HTML tab in the editor) that’s making the shortcode not literally what it appears to be – special characters being replaced, etc.

Let me know if any of these seem to resolve it.

1. it is activated
2 my guess and trying to remember what I’ve installed that might have broken it, I’ve deactivated several but the ones I’ve tried have had no affect on GDE

I can’t even hit the readme.txt for my plugin on your site. It acts like it’s performing a search, which obviously finds no results.

Do you have other plugins that use shortcodes? My guess is they are all broken. You may have to momentarily disable all of the plugins and re-enable them one by one to find the culprit.

If that doesn’t work (99% sure it will) you may have a problem in your web site config, such as .htaccess file, that is breaking the paths that WordPress expects. In any case, this isn’t a normal problem and it’s not the fault of GDE.

Thanks K3
I’ll keep trying to track downs what’s causing my issues
your mention of htaccess may set me on the right track
seems I installed better WP security and that wanted access to that HT file. Don’t believe I use any other programs that use short codes-not sure-rather new to WP

Thanks
Again
