Theme Title and Tagline gone

Hi Lanny, I don’t know exactly how the Yoko theme works, but if the [meteor_slideshow] shortcode is being used as the value of the logo image, I’m guessing that there is a field in the theme options to enter the logo image URL that has the shortcode in it.

Did you enter the shortcode via the admin, in a theme options page, or by editing a theme template file? The shortcode should only be used in the content of a page or post. If the theme has a widgetized header you could use the slideshow widget, or you would have to edit the header.php file and add the slideshow template tag.

I created a new page and entered the shortcode there, https://www.slofol.org/slide-show/. The short code is still there, but rendered as text since the plugin has been deleted. That is all I did. No changing the theme, no changing a template, just created a page with the dashboard and added the shortcode to the page.

Somehow a bunch of code has been replaced by something. Here is the ocde that currently exists in header.php (but now what comes out rendered in the browser:

<div id=”page” class=”clearfix”>
<header id=”branding”>

<?php global $yoko_options;
$yoko_settings = get_option( ‘yoko_options’, $yoko_options ); ?>

<hgroup id=”site-title”>
<?php if( $yoko_settings[‘custom_logo’] ) : ?>
<img src=”<?php echo $yoko_settings[‘custom_logo’]; ?>” alt=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>” />
<?php else : ?>
<h1>” title=”<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>” rel=”home”><?php bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?></h1>
<h2 id=”site-description”><?php bloginfo( ‘description’ ); ?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>
</hgroup><!– end site-title –>

See where all the code that gets the title and tagline has been replaced when I used your plugin.

Since you obviously understand how WP works, how is it that the code shown in the header is not the code rendered? Could the plugin have changed the data in the database and that it is replacing the actual title and tagline?

I found where a parameter in the Theme Options that was changed to the shortcode. Don’t know how, but will try to install plugin again to see if the shortcode mysteriously appears or if it was some kind of user error.

Thanks for bearing with me as I try to learn the ins and outs of WP.

No problem Lanny. Delete the shortcode from the theme options, it won’t work in there, that field should be used for an image URL.
