Just tested out a fresh install on 4.8 and had no issues. I don’t think it’s related, but I just pushed an update to the XML mime upload type (that would cause an error when you try to upload the XML file to your media library, not displaying the shortcode).

Your current situation makes me think there’s something with your WordPress configuration that’s preventing either 1) the plugin loading, or 2) shortcodes from being processed. The fact that it’s only spitting out the shortcode itself tells me that the shortcode processor isn’t firing. Are you able to get other shortcodes working?

Alternately, does the plugin work if you try this recipe?

In that case I’d recommend a few things (on your local test server would probably be easiest):
1) Disable all other plugins and see if that changes anything.
2) Change your theme to one of the stock Twenty XTeen themes and see if that changes anything.
3) Both 1) and 2).

Otherwise, I’d appreciate if you could take a look at your error logs if you’re able and let me know if anything stands out.

Howdy @sprithansi, as far as I’m aware there’s no incompatibilities w/ WP 4.7.5. It appears as if maybe the plugin was deactivated? Try checking to see if deactivating then reactivating the plugin helps the issue.

Glad to help, happy brewing! ??

It’s likely that the theme doesn’t have specific styling for HTML table elements, which isn’t too hard to fix. If you’re using the Jetpack plugin (which I recommend), you can use the Customize CSS module to easily add some styling for your tables. The challenge then is finding styling you like ??

For a starting point, here’s the styling for my theme’s tables which is nice and clean. I’d also recommend doing a search on Google for “CSS Table Designs” and copying the style of any designs you like.

table {
	border-collapse: collapse;
	border-spacing: 0;
	line-height: 2;
	margin-bottom: 40px;
	margin-bottom: 4rem;
	width: 100%;
}

tbody {
	border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

th,
td {
	text-align: left;
}

th {
	font-weight: bold;
	text-transform: uppercase;
}

td {
	border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
	padding: 6px 0;
	padding: 0.6rem 0;
}

I believe one of the drawbacks of adding new Taxonomy is that it doesn’t seem to work right until you flush your site’s rewrite rules. The easiest way to do it is to go into your site’s Permalink settings (<yoursite.com>/wp-admin/options-permalink.php) and re-save whatever setting it’s already on.

If you’re handy with the command line (and have access) you can use WP-CLI to do it too: https://wp-cli.org/commands/rewrite/flush/

Once you get it working you can do neat things like bring up a page with all your beers of a particular style, e.g.: https://www.fivebladesbrewing.com/beer-style/american-pale-ale/

Setting the cache option within the shortcode should override the plugin option. I think your best bet is to simply rename the file if the caching is giving you trouble.

As it’s often quoted:

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things

Generally if the cache is set to cache=-1 and it’s still not updating there’s some combo of caching outside of the plugin that’s causing it. You can either try to flush your other caches or just rename the file.

Great, cheers!

Howdy @arturozapote,

Unfortunately, I think your theme doesn’t properly implement the_excerpt filter on the front page. Your best bet would be to add the following to your functions.php to disable the below post unit on the front page.

function adcontrol_disable_inpost_front_page() {
	if ( is_front_page() ) {
		add_filter( 'adcontrol_inpost_disable', '__return_true' );
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'adcontrol_disable_inpost_front_page', 10 );

Howdy @sagard88, to disable the below-post article you only need to add the following line at the bottom of your theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( 'adcontrol_inpost_disable', '__return_true' );

Let me know if you have any trouble with that and I’ll see if I can help you further.

Howdy Eppen, sorry again for the delay. I am actually working with some volunteers right now to get the translations approved–it’s a much more complex process than I was expecting! Turns out you need to get an approved translator to verify the translations before they can be accepted. With any luck they’ll get approved and the translations will become available automatically shortly thereafter.

Thanks again for your assistance!

Howdy Eppen, you’re totally right and I really apologize. Life has conspired against me to provide updates of late. I’m afraid I don’t have anything better to say than I’ll try to get to it as soon as I can!

Howdy eppen, apologies for the delay. I think I’m going to be able to get to it for-realsies this week ??

Should be pretty soon, I’m working on the update right now ??
