HI steve

I’m trying to use the exert plus template for my site here

http://www.amsn.com.au/academic-members/

I only want a few paragraphs of text and then the ” read more bit to show up”

when a user of the site clicks on the profile.

for your interest the shortcode im using is

[connections category_in='16' template=""excerpt-plus"]

cheers

one lost newbie :)

oops I forgot to mention I am trying to use the

<!–more–> tags but they dont seem to be making any difference.

mmmmmm

I think i am nailing this down. My website uses a page builder called SI page builder.

there seems to be some kind of conflict with my themes page builder.

on my test page

http://www.amsn.com.au/brentstest

it displays how I want using the short code below
[connections category='16' template="excerpt-plus"]

yet when that exact code cut/copied is placed into the text box on the theme builder on the page i want it to appear it looks like this.

any ideas ?

Well I see a few big issues…

The page builder text box seems to be stripping out links such as the person’s name and the read more link.

It also seems to be stripping out the content.

And the template’s javascript is being loaded on the page.

Honestly, never seen anything like this before. I think only the support for the SI page builder.

I tried searching for it, so I could see if there are known issues with shortcode output in its text box, but I could find it.

Hi Steve

thanks so much for getting back to me.

I have done a temporary work around just to disable the page builder and go with generic wordpress page. this has created some strange things with the page layout ( width etc) but it does now render your plugin correctly.

I will contact my web developer Naummeer to see if you he has any better options. thanks for looking into this for me

kind regards,
Brent

Ok, good luck. If it ends up being someting I do have to change, let me know and I’ll look into it.

g’day steve.

No the work around got us out of trouble. disabling the page builder and rebuilding the page in the wordpress default seemed to do the trick.

Must be a nightmare for you plugin developers with all the elaborate themes on the market these days.

Just for your interest the theme was EDU by smooth themes and the page builder was mentioned in the previous post.

lets consider this resolved :)

thanks again for your time and developing such a great plugin

hope you have a great xmas break

cheers mate
Brent
