 * I’m trying to pull the interest rates off of this one page, but the short code
   is not working for me:
 * **[remote_get url=”[https://yourmortgagesource.org/best-rates/&#8221](https://yourmortgagesource.org/best-rates/&#8221);
   start='<div id=”post-10275″ class=”post-10275 page type-page status-publish hentry”‘
   stop=’::after’]
 * I also want to redirect the “apply now” buttons for a new URL. But I can’t even
   get the plugin to pull any content at the moment.
 * Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

 * If the shortcode is breaking on your page it is most likely that < in your start
   parameter. WordPress will try to reformat your page content by inserting Line
   Breaks where it detects open/close tags like that div. Since you are not supposed
   to put Line Breaks in shortcode parameters this results in a broken shortcode.
   try using an encoded < character:
    & l t ; (without the spaces).
 * Also, try wrapping the whole shortcode in a textarea tag so you can see the HTML
   that you are getting back.
 * Let me know if you need more help.

 * Hi Eli,
 * Thanks for your help. Still not having any luck getting it to embed. I tried 
   the encoded characters.. no luck. My page is coming up blank where the short 
   code is. Here is the output of the textarea code:
 * [http://pastebin.com/yQFft6rE](http://pastebin.com/yQFft6rE)
 * And this is my shortcode:
 * **[remote_get url=”[https://yourmortgagesource.org/best-rates/&#8221](https://yourmortgagesource.org/best-rates/&#8221);
   start='<h2 class=”title-heading-left”>As ‘ stop='<footer class=”footer-area”>’]**

 * It works for me but try leaving off the > character to for simplicity, it not
   needed for this call to work. So the start parameter ends with ‘…-left”‘ and 
   the stop parameter ends with ‘…-area”‘.
 * Your text area seems to contain the right code put there are a lot of `</p>` 
   that should not be there. it may not display right on your page because of the
   wrong number of closing tags for the given content and you may also need to adjust
   your css to match the display styles of the original page.
 * Try the page inspector in your browser to see if you tell how many extra closing
   div tags you have at the end, then you can then you can open that many div tags
   before your shortcode.

 * Eli,
 * When I remove > it does display.. but I get an error in the editor:
    ** 11-20
   05:46: SHORTCURL start=<h2 class=”title-heading-left” As but not found in ([https://yourmortgagesource.org/best-rates/](https://yourmortgagesource.org/best-rates/))!
 * The shortcode does embed the website even with the error, and the stop command
   seems to work.. it doesnt display the footer. But the start position does not.
   It embeds the entire header.
 * Could you show me the exact shortcode settings you’re using to get it to display
   properly?

   =”title-heading-left”‘

   start='<div id=”post-10275″‘ stop='<footer class=”footer-area”‘]
