unable to save pages with mdocs single-file shortcode

    Hello,

    I just updated from version 3.9.12, and now I can’t save posts that have the shortcode in them.

    For example,
    Create new post.
    Use shortcode [mdocs single-file=”1374″ ]

    If you click Save Draft, Preview or Publish, it prompts you to try to save the file to your PC (in my case it was a PDF). It won’t save the post.

    The Folder shortcode works fine. Displays of existing posts with single files that use the shortcode appears to be fine.

    This still happens if I deactivate all the other plugins.

    This site is behind a password but I can send it to you.

    Thanks.

    Clearing my browser cache didn’t fix it. I went into a completely different browser logged in under a different username, and repeated the problem in the other browser.

    Yes, inserting a folder shortcode works. The problem is that it’s trying to open or save the file itself.

    doesn’t make any sense, its only a shortcode at that point. It has not file association. I’ve tried on ever browser on my own dev servers and can’t recreate this issue.

    It happens in Twentyseventeen theme also.

    If I cut and paste the shortcode into a post and save the post, as in
    [mdocs single-file=”873″ ]

    It works normally.

    If I use the shortcode button in the editor, it doesn’t work. It tries to download the file to my PC and hangs.

    Notice there is an extra space after the “. I don’t know if that is intentional? The older posts I created with the shortcode button that worked also have that extra space though.

    okay I’ve found the issue, to fix it open the file mdocs-shortcodes.php and add the following.

    to line 65:

    
<form name="mdocs-insert-shortcode-form" class="mdocs-insert-shortcode-form" method="post">

    to line 93:

    
</form>

    to line 107:

    
<form name="mdocs-insert-shortcode-form" class="mdocs-insert-shortcode-form" method="post">

    to line 119:

    
</form>

    Great! Thanks so much! Will this be on a new release?

    this is a quick fix, unfortunately it will break other plugin eg “My Calendar”

    I will have to find a better solution for the next version but for now this will work for you.
