I have these three shortcodes on a page but the only one that works is the one without the Category slug call. I’m flummoxed…

Hi Shelly,

May I ask are there any events assigned to the clay-ongoing category, and any events assigned to the new-clay-ongoing category? If the answer is yes, what happens if you put only one shortcode on the page? )The one shortcode having the category_slug parameter)

Yes, we’ve got about 150+ events assigned to that category. I removed all but one shortcode: [ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=new-clay-ongoing limit=5]

But it’s still not showing anything… These did work recently. The list and grid shortcodes are working (https://hoffarts.wpengine.com/register/)

Thanks Josh,
S

If you deactivate the WP Bakery plugin, then temporarily switch to one of the twenty* themes, does the shortcode parse as expected?

We figured this out – it was a combination of some css and an updated category title…
