Yes, I am looking at the issue from the perspective of developing a solution so far, it seems like a real hassle, I remember back in the old days when they first started using this editor, it was a real mess, and in some ways it still is, with the popularity of facebook iframe apps, youtube iframe, video, and other embed type implementations it only makes sense to be able to develop editing that works under those methods, however, that does not appear to be the goal, I would really love to see a better method.

Thanks for taking time to post, and reply.

update apparently this is a problem with the way that Tiny MCE works, and by default, the “editor” does not allow html editing, even though there is what appears to be an html tab, apparently there is no provision for actually editing in HTML.

Odd, to have an HTML tab that does not result in the expected result.

Well that certainly puts a hole in the it must be the theme theory,

I will do some testing to see if I can reproduce the issue and find another place to look for an answer,

Yes, apparently it requires some numerical input that has not been defined either by the publisher or anyone else as far as I can tell.

Anyone know the expected input?

I looked at the church template, and I guess this would probably be better on the SP website, but since were here right now, and were not sure the exact cause of this,

One thing I saw in the code, (and there was a lot of stuff in there)

was that they declare headers, which might be an issue, before you go down the rabbit hole after this thing, you may need to test out by activating the default theme, and setting up the short code in the admin section, admin.php I think, from what small amount of time I spent on it, from the two posts, I saw on SP, it appears that you may have to manage the short codes separate of the normal method, but you wont know this until you know for sure if it is in the theme or not.

That would be my next attempt at testing out where the issue is, once you find out where the problem is you can find a way to fix it,

// Register [sermon] shortcode handler
	add_shortcode('sermons', 'sb_shortcode');
	add_shortcode('sermon', 'sb_shortcode');

One thing I noticed right away was that I could not find these files loading in your header, `// Register custom CSS and javascript files
wp_register_script(‘sb_64′, SB_PLUGIN_URL.’/sb-includes/64.js’, false, SB_CURRENT_VERSION);
wp_register_script(‘sb_datepicker’, SB_PLUGIN_URL.’/sb-includes/datePicker.js’, array(‘jquery’), SB_CURRENT_VERSION);
wp_register_style(‘sb_datepicker’, SB_PLUGIN_URL.’/sb-includes/datepicker.css’, false, SB_CURRENT_VERSION);
if (get_option(‘permalink_structure’) == ”)
wp_register_style(‘sb_style’, trailingslashit(site_url()).’?sb-style&’, false, sb_get_option(‘style_date_modified’));
else
wp_register_style(‘sb_style’, trailingslashit(site_url()).’sb-style.css’, false, sb_get_option(‘style_date_modified’));`

So you know that if your js files and css files are not loading then that is just one problem,

in sermon.php

this is one place where you might have a look at tracing the call from the theme to the plugin, but if your js scripts are not loading, then that is a path issue,

/**
* Main initialisation function
*
* Sets up most WordPress hooks and filters, depending on whether request is for front or back end.
*/
function sb_sermon_init () {
	global $sermon_domain, $wpdb, $defaultMultiForm, $defaultSingleForm, $defaultStyle;
	$sermon_domain = 'sermon-browser';
	if (IS_MU) {
			load_plugin_textdomain($sermon_domain, '', 'sb-includes');
	} else {
			load_plugin_textdomain($sermon_domain, '', 'sermon-browser/sb-includes');
	}
	if (WPLANG != '')
		setlocale(LC_ALL, WPLANG.'.UTF-8');

it might just be the missing js scripting, but I have not really looked at how it is connected yet, again once you know for sure that the theme is the problem you can start down the rabbit hole,

sure just covering the basics, you should be able to do a preview test in the panel, to see if the short code parses correctly if it does then you know that you need to look at the theme PHP to find a solution, I use genesis too, and I have not been able to use all the child themes, as some do not work well with plugins, if you like the church theme, you may need to make an adjustment in the code.

I found a reference, you might be able to make work, https://dev.studiopress.com/post-taxonomy-shortcode.htm

have you tried the default theme to see if it is a theme issue,

Ok was curious about that as I have some issues like this with the editor, not displaying code correctly, but your issue sounds like a parsing issue, I would check the plugin itself to see how it parses the short codes, to see if there is a path issue.

Are you adding the short codes in the html side of the editor, try that and see if it will work that way.

I just came across this same issue, looks like it has been awhile since you posted this did you ever find out what caused the issue?

I sort of wanted to have a look at being able to toggle different editors, since some editors work better when your trying to format text and others work better for creating tables and images, also some plugins work only with the default editor, (buttons and such) I noticed that there is an entirely new line of editors being introduced at various email clients, yahoo beta, has an interesting tool bar.

Yes, I just spent about 30 minutes formatting a post, and after submitting it, Poof everything is gone, this is perhaps Evil, and what makes it even worse is that by default if you load up the post, in view format and then click html, Poof, its gone again, is there not some kind of better editor than the two cylinder thing that comes standard, I mean wordpress has really come along way, but this crazy formatting issue is just too much, there must be a better way.

Foliopress WYSIWYG seems like a nice choice, anyone know of any other solutions to the FUBAR of what comes standard here

I have the exact same problems in all of my wordpress directories,

[28-Sep-2010 05:41:50] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/pdo_sqlite.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/pdo_sqlite.so: undefined symbol: sqlite3_libversion in Unknown on line 0

Is there any official word on what could be causing this issue?

sure would like to see some indication of where the issue is, ISP is blaming WordPress, (surprise surprise) It made me wonder what in wordpress is calling sqlite?

Now before you try this do one of two things, either rename your wp-config.php file to something like wp-config.phpx or save it or both,

toward the bottom of the file you can do this,

under this line should be around line 173

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

define('WP_HOME','https://www.yourwebsite.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.yourwebsite.com');

replace your website.com with your real website.com
let me know if that works for you,

Ok, yes, that worked, and yes, it is working now, but I did upload a fresh copy of wp-admin

What is interesting is that once logged in, all is well, very odd, when you get the 404 error, what exactly is the url, or can you see that, copy paste, it you can replace the domain with xxx if you like

This is very curious.

One minor thing, I did add a couple of lines to force wp-config.php to define the site url, if you want to try that I will post it but save a copy of your config file before doing this, just let me know
