Shortcode params not working…

    Hello, looks like a great plugin, but I have a problem straight away with none of the shortcode params working at all .. except one; which is broken!
    So, if I try [psac_post_carousel category=”2″] it ignores me and still displays all.
    This is the same for all params, except if I use [psac_post_carousel limit=”10″] is breaks down and shows post number 1 three times and nothing else.
    That is the state I’ve left it in for now, a test site I’m working on.
    Fully up to date WP etc, no other plugins other than Smush and a popular lightbox. Also just tried the Twenty Twenty theme and its still the same.
    Any ideas? Nice one!

    Hi @sonic1243

    Plugin works with multiple shortcode parameter.

    Sometime what happen when we copy the shortcode and paste it into the WordPress editor then double quote (“) are converted to special character (”) and it does not work.

    So I suggest you to remove the double quote and add it again manually and then check.

    I hope this will resolve your issue.

    Also are you using Gutenberg shortcode block to add the plugin shortcode?

    Ah ok yes, and I see on the FAQ page there is a variety of quotes in use! ”3″

    Yes I’m using the Gutenberg Shortcode block, fully up to date.

    But, no this isn’t solving the problem…

    I see there are three different high quotes in html (” “ ″). Double, Left Double, Right Double, in order. I’ve just tried using each of those; for both ends; and none are working.

    I’ve even tried copying the exact quotes used in ContactForm7 shortcode; still doesnt fix it. I use shortcodes all the time; never had this before.

    Curious to know what’s going on here?!

    Just spotted its started working, and last night the “shows post number 1 three times” seamed to fix itself after a few hours too. (And I’m doing Shift+F5 on it in my other work occasionally) So, seams there’s some delay in implementing the changes to the shortcode, and now its decided to work!

    I’ve got this problem with other shortcode plugins as well, I must have some kind of quotes problem on my computer but I can’t find it, checked language etc. I’m goin crazy .. something is corrupting my shortcodes somehow…

    So this isn’t an issue with your plugin, sorry… I’ve had it the other similar plugins I’ve tried today, culminating with Shortcodes Ultimate; if I change the shortcode I get “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”, broken page. And I’ve just tried this in Twenty Twenty theme and it does the same thing, totally broken. I’ve got something really wrong with my shortcodes!

    Hi @sonic1243

    Can you please provide me the web page URL on which you had setup the plugin? so I can take a look and try to understand the scenario.

    Are you using any cache plugin or server side cache is enabled as you have late changes applied on pages?

    Hi, na no plugin , this is my own making .. I’ve messed up in my themes functions.php I think and managed to stop shortcode arguments working. Shortcodes work, but arguments don’t. Learning by mistakes … not fixed it yet tho.

    This certainly isn’t your plugin, I have some kinda shortcode att’s problem… You can delete this thread if you wish. I’m going to go and jump off a bridge; thank you ??

    I’m actually having this same problem. Is there a way I can handle it?

    For me; I had a totally unrelated and quite minor error in functions.php, which somehow caused shortcode arguments to fail ..

    Hi @sonic1243

    Glad to know that your problem has been solved.

    @dereckstif have you tried to remove the double quote in shortcode and adding it manually again?
