<diddledan> WebDragon: bug in the plugin
<WebDragon> diddledan, oh? where at
<diddledan> WebDragon: it doesn’t reset the $post global after trampling all-over it
<WebDragon> derp
<WebDragon> so it only works from within, or after the_content()
<WebDragon> well that’s annoying.
<diddledan> no, it’ll cause all manner of side-effects even if used within the_content()
<WebDragon> huh. it otherwise appears to work fine, but I’ll let the author know, tute le suite
<diddledan> e.g. running any the_*() function after running the shortcode will either not output anything or output from a different post
<WebDragon> appreciate your help in diagnosis

Was running into an issue trying to insert the shortcode before a call to the page content for front-page.php and having all the content section go away.

Thought you should know right away so it could be corrected 🙂

I’d have posted in a more appropriate forum, but I didn’t see one for your plugins, and wasn’t sure how often you read the WP support forums directly.

Thanks a lot for the info. We’ll investigate this issue further and we’ll release an update ASAP.

We’ll also create a dedicated forum for it.

Thanks again!

Hi again,

Could you also tell us what theme you were using? Also, could you give us a little more details about where exactly in frontpage.php were you inserting the slider shortcode?

the theme we were using was the Sage package from https://roots.io/sage/ to create a custom bootstrap-based theme, and we were using a created front-page.php file consissting of

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <?php // get_template_part('templates/page', 'header'); ?>
  <?php get_template_part('templates/content', 'slider'); ?>
  <?php get_template_part('templates/content', 'page'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

the relevant template part being in templates/content-slider.php :

<?php
echo do_shortcode( '[serious-slider id=4]' );
wp_reset_query(); // which we had to add due to the bug
?>
