Just updated our website to 4.4.1. It ask to update the database as well. When we did that it broke ALL the custom event links, .i.e. [EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW event_category_id=”babysitting” ]
It worked perfectly prior to the update. Id there some conflict between the new WP update and the short code in EE3
I figured it out. I guess the short code has changed? Once I changed the short code to [EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW category_identifier=babysitting] it worked again. I’ve since changed all the rest and they are working now too.
Thank you very much for the quick response, I do appreciate it.
It turns out that the shortcode API in WP 4.4 was tightened up. Before, there was a bug that just happened to allow those curly quotes. Now that it’s fixed, the quotes will break the shortcode parser.
