Works without calls

Hey pconceptions,

Can you please clarify what you mean exactly by:

If I place any specific calls (tag, category, etc)

How are you placing the ‘calls’ and what exactly are they?
Are they in the_content or in your template?

Hi! sure thing…

Basically within the the page content (not in the template/editor files), if I use:

[ic_add_posts]

Posts load on that page without issue. However, if I use any of the calls such as:

[ic_add_posts tag='tag-slug']

then none of the posts display and I get a blank area.

Ex.:
One of my tags is “shirts” so I entered:
[ic_add_posts tag='shirts'] and also tried: [ic_add_posts tag=shirts]
…resulting in nothing loading on the page.

Hi there,

Okay, so that’s weird.

As you posted above a shortcode like [ic_add_posts tag='tag-slug'] should work just fine.

A few things to try:

1. Double-check the slug of the tag you’re trying to embed. I’ve totally made the mistake of creating a tag that I think is named web-design for example, but it’s actually web-design-1, or something like that.
2. There is potential for a plugin or theme conflict, I suppose, so you could always try

• disabling other plugins while checking to see if the shortcode is parsed as you expect,
• temporarily switch to a default theme to see if the problem persists

• If neither of the above reveal the problem, let us know your plugins and active theme and we’ll see what we can research for you.

Cheers and I hope that helps!
