 * Hi, I am using a simple shortcode to output the URL of my site for use in URLs
   in my theme. e.g:
 * `
    ... img src="[rs-get-site-url]/wp-content/themes/theme_1.0/image.png" alt=""...
 * This is the shortcode code, in functions.php:
 * `
    add_shortcode('rs-get-site-url', 'rs_get_site_url_func');
 *  function rs_get_site_url_func() {
    return get_site_url(); }
 * Since the WordPress 4.2.3 update this has stopped working, but because I am not
   using bad quotes or variables, I don’t know why. How can I get this working in
   WordPress 4.2.3?
 * My site is not working until I get this working again.
 * Any help appreciated,
 * Mav3000 🙂
