RE: shortcode changes
Actually Connections applies fixes when the page/post is saved. It takes care of the most common issues I’ve run into while supporting users. Primarily removing HTML tags and making sure the shortcode is not wrapped in code tags. That was a big one. Since implementing this awhile back, support issues around the shortcode have dramatically been reduced.
That said, I guess it would depend on what changes you are seeing. Could you elaborate?
RE: blank page
I guess I would first suggest [increasing the memory limit](WordPress Memory Limit). That’s usually this issue when this is encountered. Since you’re local, you might have to do it in the php/apache config.
If that does not work, try deactivating all other plugins temporarily.
Hope that helps!
