    Hi,

    Reading the forums i am not sure i found the solution of what i have to do.

    Editing or making new entries render the specific category empty.

    Take a look at http://voreiamedia.gr/index.php/vrilissia/ where the 2 entries(after update) do not show up.

    Can you please elaborate on the matter please?

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    What is the exact shortcode you are using on this page?

    Can you remove the category and exclude_category options temporarily so the shortcode is only this:

    [connections]

    Doe it now work? And can is see?

    Also, one thing I just now noticed… I see that your permalink is setup showing the index.php in the URL… you should configure WordPress to not display this because Connections is not compatible with it. This also improves the SEO of your site.

    I edited the shortcode to [connections], the problem still exists.

    Also i changed the permalinks as you advised, thank you for that.

    Ok, I have no further ideas for you to try. I need a temp admin account so I can take a closer look. The login details can be posted here as a private reply.

    Oh, wait…

    I see you are using WP Super Cache. Please empty the page cache and exclude this page from the page cache. It is extremely likely this page was cached by WP Super Cache when no results were displayed and now that is the only page being shown because that is the page being displayed by WP Super Cache.

    The shortcode was wrapped in a HTML <code> tag, removing this tag allowed the shortcode to work. Tip, when working with shortcode, any shortcode for any plugin, it is always best practice to do it in the Text tab of the WordPress editor.

    It probably worked before the WP 4.4 update but one of the changes WP did in 4.4 was tighten up its shortcode parser to make it more secure which means some things that use to work will no longer to work.

    Hope that helps!
