Shortcodes broke after WP update, site unusable
-
After wordpress updated to 6.2.1, all shortcodes are broken that I have added (1. with Full Site Editing, ~AND~ (2. are NOT in the header (and possibly footer) blocks.
To explain more, my shortcodes work fine in the header where I’ve added them using the full site editor. They work fine in posts and pages. They break where I’ve added them in the body of a page using the full site editor, such as the homepage and sidebars.
An example, I have a register form by forminator on the home page. It’s worked for weeks with no issues and now it now only shows [forminator_form id=”2114″], and specifically if you inspect it, it’s wrapping it in p tags instead of the <! — wp:shortcode — >
Another example, I have a mycred shortcode showing user ranks on the user dashboard sidebar. It’s showing the shortcode text in a p tag instead of displaying the shortcode function. It’s not wrapped in <! — wp:shortcode — > either.I have several places where this is the case with multiple plugins. Again, the exact same shortcodes work fine if I copy them directly into a post or page. They even work if I copy them in the header using the full site editor. But if they are in the “body” of the page/post the shortcode breaks.
I have uninstalled all other plugins (except forminator, to generate the shortcode) and tested. I have tried it for logged in and out users. I have no cache or CND active. Everything was fine and then suddenly with no changes by me this occurred. The only thing that changed around the same time was wordpress did an auto update, so this is why I believe it is the theme not compatible with the latest update.
Help, my site’s destroyed until it can get fixed.

Hey, it does not seem to be the shortcode block causing the issue though, as it works in other themes and in other areas of your theme just fine. Seems to be a bug between the latest wp update and your implementation of something in the “body” of the full site editor (as it works in the header and footer).
My initial guess would be it’s because the “body” area uses the <div> tag as a wrapper instead of the <header>, etc. and something in that div wrapper is breaking it. That or it’s a change in how the php gets served in wp_body_open thats bugging with an unique implementation of your theme.
I rolled back to before the wp update overnight and it did indeed fix it, so it is for sure related to something wp changed during the update.
