post_html and summary output is empty when using visual composer plugin

[gooee]

hi,

Just seeing issues with post_html summary output when used in conjunction with the visual composer plugin. When you build content with this plugin the summary returns empty.

Wondering if there's a fix or could you suggest a solution?

Hey there!

So the other content tags (eg. {title} {views}, etc. are working fine except for {summary}? That's odd.

Please try that same wpp shortcode on a regular WordPress page (no Visual Composer stuff) and report back what happens.

[gooee]

Hi Hector,

Appreciate the speedy reply! :0

Standard pages not yet using visual composer return content all works as intended.

screen shot below and code sample attached

cheers

Got a question: why are you creating a custom shortcode when WPP provides its own shortcode out of the box?

I don't see anything wrong with your code and while it shouldn't make any difference please try with this one just to be sure:

[wpp stats_views=0 range='weekly' order_by='views' post_type='post' excerpt_by_words=1 excerpt_length=40 post_html='<li><div class="accordion-item"><h2 class="entry-title">{title}</h2><div class="entry-content">{summary}</div><span class="more-link">Read more</span></div></li>']

If it still breaks on Visual Composer please let me know and I'll look into it.

hi Hector,

Sorry Just got around to test your shortcode now.

unfortunately no luck.

fyi: the reason i created it as a specific shortcode by itself was so i could ensure someone in the team couldn't alter it, and that i then use a template part to add the shortcode in the footer of some other templates

Way there something else you like me to try?

Kind regards,

Hey there!

Unfortunately, no. The Visual Composer plugin is a paid one and so I can't do any tests unless I buy it - something I'm honestly not really willing to do.

Is there any chance you could provide me admin access to your site so I can check what's going on?
