Title: Error message on shortcode Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Error message on shortcode * Resolved [Bob Wagstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bob-wagstaff/) * (@bob-wagstaff) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/) * I have a prestashop and would like to incorporate a wordpress blog. * I do not know how to write wordpress or prestashop theme code, so I am just using a plain wp theme. But when I try to use the shortcode [ps_product_list id_category =X n=C p=P tpl=TPL]I get errors if I change either the values for C or P. If I do no change the values I get no response at all. * The error can be seen here * [http://www.framptoncards.com/shop/blog/uncategorized/hello-world/](http://www.framptoncards.com/shop/blog/uncategorized/hello-world/) * I am operating on Prestashop 1.5.3.1 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/prestashop-integration/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/prestashop-integration/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [aytechnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aytechnet/) * (@aytechnet) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509820) * Hi, * Uppercase variable should be given a value in fact : try with [ps_product_list id_category=2] to see what happens, the value n, p and tpl allows you to use a different values instead of the (good) default one. It seems you made a copy of all the possible parameters : Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘SmartyException’ with message ‘Unable to load template file ‘/…/themes/theme481/TPL” * François. * Thread Starter [Bob Wagstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bob-wagstaff/) * (@bob-wagstaff) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509830) * The link which I gave above has the following post entry * > Welcome to WordPress.

The same apply with p=P, please remove it if you wish it to work. * Thread Starter [Bob Wagstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bob-wagstaff/) * (@bob-wagstaff) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509929) * Thanks again Francois, but when I post the following * **Welcome to WordPress.

Have you played with customers groups ? Can you test with id_category=24 and checks if it working (a sub-category) ? * I assume as you expect output that each product in sub-categories of id_category =4 are present in id_category=4 too ? (I wonder if you have a module/patch/theme that fetch automatically products from sub-categories ?) * François. * Plugin Author [aytechnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aytechnet/) * (@aytechnet) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509948) * Ok, what was the resolution so ? * Thread Starter [Bob Wagstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bob-wagstaff/) * (@bob-wagstaff) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509951) * I had to adjust my CSS to allow it to fit and have simply entered the shortcode as id_product=xxxx * Thread Starter [Bob Wagstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bob-wagstaff/) * (@bob-wagstaff) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509952) * Also it only picks up products from the category and not any products in sub- categories within the category. * Plugin Author [aytechnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aytechnet/) * (@aytechnet) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509953) * Yes, it picks up only products from the category and not the subcategories… Is it a normal behaviour of PrestaShop now or do you have a patch/module/theme for that ? * Thread Starter [Bob Wagstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bob-wagstaff/) * (@bob-wagstaff) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509954) * I think it might be normal behaviour within Prestashop Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Error message on shortcode’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/prestashop-integration.svg) * [PrestaShop Integration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/prestashop-integration/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/prestashop-integration/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prestashop-integration/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prestashop-integration/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prestashop-integration/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/prestashop-integration/reviews/) ## Tags * [prestashop](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/prestashop/) * [shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/shortcode/) * 11 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Bob Wagstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bob-wagstaff/) * Last activity: [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-shortcode/#post-3509954) * Status: resolved
