No it’s not changed and still works for me.
hum, ok. thanks 🙂 so i broke something (else),
apparently. Cheers –
Are you getting any errors?
sorry, I only stumbled over your most recent response now. Apparently, this forum does not really send notifications on replies. Either way –
No, I’m not getting any errors. It just stays blank. I’ve tried 2 plugins to circumvent in the meantime (or rather drill into what they’re doing different, in case they work/ed), alas
which has me scratching my head.
I would very much prefer to get this going without having to use a plugin for a simple display job such as this. Bit I can’t seem to figure out why the solution I had in place stopped working.
Well wit the theme set to BP Nouveay the form displays, it’s just the input area is missing, so with either theme you should be getting something. I take it you’ve ruled out other plugins conflicting?
i just had a round of deactivating all plugins + switchign them back on one by one + grow a bit weary of that. The current lineup encompasses mostly plugins I’ll be needing i.e. can be considered more or less mission critical. That is to say : I can’t dick around every few weeks eliminating components that were ok to work with, when all of a sudden a component that used to work stops to work.
I’ll be needing to identify a solution that works in the environment we’ve been building.
With all the plugins deactivated apart from BuddyPress, did it work at all? Same goes with your theme. Do you have error logging switched on? I’m thinking there must be an error showing somewhere and you are just not seeing it.
See this page to see how to enable the error log https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
Venutius, I’m telling you 🙂 the whole arrangement (theme, plugins, etc.) was working until the recent big Buddypress update. Then my manually placed whatsnewbox stopped showing.
But I’m the nice guy 😛 I have put
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
+ let’s see what we get. 🙂
The other place to look is in the JS console that comes with your browser, when you try to load the what’s new form, right click on the page and select Console to see if there are any errors reported in Javascript. Once you have done that you can open up your error log and see if any errors were generated. I use BWS Error Log Viewer to make viewing the error log easy.
Hi @elexem just to let you know that I’ve updated the Wat’s New shortcode so it works with BP Nouveau.
hey, Venutius;
apolpogies for my delayed response, got tied up elsewhere. + Thanks for updating your plugin. I just ran the update + am sorry to report back that on my site, I still don’t get the form to show. I have tried your suggestion using the console but I don’t know enough JavaScript to judge what might be causing what. If you wish, feel free to have a look at a test post at https://liberal.is/blog/2018/12/23/testing-2nd-post-box-pluggie/ for yourself, likely you will see more than I do.
Best – LX
Hi elexem,
Looks like you are getting quite a few Javascript errors:
JQMIGRATE: jQuery.fn.load() is deprecated – Orange Login plugin
JQMIGRATE: AJAX events should be attached to document: ajaxComplete – A3 lazyload assets plugin
JQMIGRATE: jQuery.attrFn is deprecated – Jannah theme
JQMIGRATE: Global events are undocumented and deprecated – Cookie Notice plugin
JQMIGRATE: jQuery.fn.size() is deprecated; use the .length property – Jannah theme.
Depricated means usually that those functions will no longer work, so they need to be seen to. The AJAX event warning may of may not be an issue, but it should be looked at.
However I doubt any of these have a bearing on the issue at hand, there’s no sign of the shortcode output. Do any other shortcodes work? Mind, the form would not display to a not logged in user.
hey, Venutius;
yeah, I’ve been getting some of those thrown at me per error log* as well, but had them not high on my issues list, as long as the general functionality of the parents in question appeared to be ok yet (as far as superficial verdicts go, I guess). :/
Perhaps I should carry the issues you spotted to the respective entity owner.
Beyond that: yeah, shortcodes in general appear to be working well. Should we perhaps try out any other of yoour shortcodes to display properly in that test post? Maybe that serves as more clue?
cheers – lx

( * : as far as log perusal goes, I like https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-log-viewer/ 🙂 for its grouping and filtering capacities; you may want to have a comparative look at that, perhaps.)
I like the log viewer, trouble is on a few sites it just gave up working for no apparent reason so I stick to BWS as it’s more reliable.
I’d probably get more info if I had a login.
no problem at all – what privileges would you require? Also, I might need a way to send the logon. Or You could logon using one of the offered social networks and let me know thereafter, and I can up your user with the relevant capabilities.
Cheers – LX
You could email me at venutius at buddyuser.com I think ideally admin though right now any level would do
i have created an account with “plugin support” privileges + you should have received a related notification eMail. Let me know if any capability you need proves mising + also, if it would be more convenient if I switched the site (backend) language to English while you are having a look around (I’m not sure what the user preference affects and what is governed globally per site setting re that).
Godspeed. LX
Still no sign f any shortcode output, the user needs to be admin in order for me to go further
the whole frontpage is assembled with lots of shortcodes. I assure you, shortcodes in and by themselves are not the problem.
