Problem with $post global variable

Hi @raperez

for me, it’s difficult to understand what you are trying to do because I don’t know the code of your function.

However, I suggest you try to add the parameter request=”remote” to the shortcode. I mean the shortcode will look like [content_no_cache id=”xxx” request=”remote”]

Normally, CNC gets the content of the CNC element during an Ajax call directly from the database. Your $post variable may not work during the Ajax call. If you add the parameter request=”remote”, CNC will get the content via a remote HTTP request, and in that case, the same $post variable may work. The content will appear a little later on the page, but you may solve the issue.

I hope it helps

Have a great day

Jose

Hello:

I have created a shortcode to recover some data from a table. To search in this table, I must recover a value from the actual post (global $post) where the shortcode is located. Unfortunately, this variable is empty when called via no content cache. I have also tried request=”remote” parameter with no luck.

When using the request=”remote” parameter my shortcode doesn’t work at all and I get an update error when trying to update the page where the shortcode is located.

Any other thing that could be done? Thanks again for your fantastic help!!
