Have you tried using the “dec” parameter to show the number of decimal places? By default, the plugin rounds off to zero.
For example,
[calculate dec=”2″]6.7+4.5[/calculate]
Even with the decimal parament, the answer is still zero. Its as if it is converting the mycred balance shortcode to zero.
For example this is what i have and it is resulting to zero [calculate dec=”2″][mycred_my_balance type=”level”]*2[/calculate]
The level here is 4
Just retested it with a shortcode that returns a decimal value. It seems to be working fine here. The plugin uses the standard “do_shortcode” to evaluate internal shortcodes, so it should return the same thing…
You’ve updated the plugin to the latest version? I didn’t add the “dec” parameter until 2.0 I think.
I’ve tried both with and without the decimal – the answer is zero. I have version 2.1 installed.
What value is [mycred_my_balance type=”level”] returning?
In this case 4 but it has a prefix so its L4 which am suspecting could be the cause of the problems. Does the plugin strip off any prefixes before calculations?

The plugin just accepts numbers as inputs. If the input is not a number, it won’t work correctly!
What you could do is place the “L” before the [calculate] shortcode and just supply the number instead.
Like L[calculate dec=’2′][mycred_my_balance][/calculate] or something like that.
What I meant was the shortcode returns a number which can also be formatted with a symbol/text prefix. In the example, 4 or L4
But even when the shortcode returns a plain number trying to calculate returns 0
Would you like to have a look at a site with the two plugins installed? Maybe my explanation is not painting a very clear picture
Sure, let me have a look.
I’ve sent the link through your site
Hi, just sent you a message asking if it’s possible to give me login details so I can debug the plugin…
I might have an idea of what’s wrong.

Thank you for troubleshooting. It now works perfectly after stripping all the extra formatting the shortcode provides.
