In reply to: Posting to specific pages: child theme code and shortcode plugins not working

#40353

Sorry for the late response!

I just started working on the site again today.

Turns out that the shortcode works when NO child theme exists, but if there is one, nothing works.

So I deleted the child theme and will mark this thread as resolved.

If you’re still interested in viewing the site, you’ll need to change your host file to point my IP address to a domain since I haven’t changed my DNS yet.

Here are the instructions:

If you are Mac OS User:

1) Open the Terminal.app. Either by start typing Terminal on the Spotlight, or by going into Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.

2) Open the hosts by typing on the Terminal that you have just opened:

$ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts

Type your user password when prompted.

3) Simply append the line:

198.187.29.62 westcountywinds.org

4) Save changes, check web-site in a browser. When done editing the hosts file, press control-o to save the file. Press enter on the filename prompt, and control-x to exit the editor.

That should do it!

If you need the PC code, let me know. I’ve changed this ticket to resolved.

Thanks!

I disabled all other plug-ins and still the same result. 🙁

Could the child theme be interfering?

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply Kenneth! Unfortunately, this isn’t quite what I’m looking for.

Yes, I am looking to assign posts that are within a category to appear on designated pages.

So, I see that you listed another plug-in. My problem is that NO plug-ins have worked thus far that require shortcode to be entered regarding specific posts showing up on the page in which the category shortcode is inserted. I need a bit more of a brainstorm as to why this is happening.

According to many other recommendations around this topic, including the developer’s, the child theme additions should have definitely worked, and they didn’t.

I am figuring there may be specific options I need to change, other plug-ins that may be interfering, etc, but I don’t know where to look to problem solve this and hope someone else has an idea.
