Shortcodes not working after WordPress v4.2.3 Update

    After the latest WordPress update (WP v4.2.3), the shortcodes for many WordPress plugins stopped working, including some of the s2Member shortcodes, depending on how they were used. As a result, some shortcodes were no longer being evaluated and instead the text of the shortcode itself was being shown.

    The latest WordPress update (v4.2.3) included a large security update that introduced changes to the WordPress Shortcode API (see Changes to the Shortcode API). These changes ended up breaking the shortcode for many WordPress plugins, thereby breaking many live WordPress sites (see many reports in this WordPress Trac Issue).

    We have opened a GitHub Issue to start tracking our work on this issue and we are currently investigating what, if anything, we can do to work around these changes to the WordPress Shortcode API.

    Please see this GitHub Issue for further updates and please leave any additional feedback there:

  • [else] in shortcode not work for me.
    I’m using the wordpress version 4.2.3. and I’m thinking it might be a filter for php language.
    Maybe it would be a good idea to implement it as [s2Else]?….

    Sorry for my English and thanks in advance.

    More info…..

    [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
    Content level1
    [/s2If]

    [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level2)]
    Content level2
    [else]
    WORK?
    [/s2If]

    Screen output.

    Content level1
    Content level2
    [else]
    WORK?

    @garprogram The [else] syntax is not available in the free version at this time.

    I have found that the following doesn’t work. I get a page with blank content.

    [s2If user_can(3, access_s2member_level0)]
    User ID# 3 CAN access content protected at Level #0.
    [/s2If]
    [s2If user_cannot(3, access_s2member_level0)]
    User ID# 3 CANNOT access content protected at Level #0.
    [/s2If]

    @seamtv The WordPress shortcode parser will choke on spaces.

    Try it like this: (removing the space after 3)

    [s2If user_can(3,access_s2member_level0)]
    User ID# 3 CAN access content protected at Level #0.
[/s2If]
[s2If user_cannot(3,access_s2member_level0)]
    User ID# 3 CANNOT access content protected at Level #0.
[/s2If]

    Hmmm. I tried it before without the space and it didn’t work and now it does! Perhaps, it was some kind of cache weirdness. Thank you for the suggestion. I’m back in business!
