 * Hello all,
 * I am having a very strange behavior with a SU shortcode on sites in Multisite
   that I did not have on stand alone sites.
 * First – I have changed themes and it is not a theme issue.
    Second – no I have
   not turned off all plugins and I am not going to. The last time I turned off 
   all plugins, I had to spend hours turning multiple items back on and reconnecting
   sites. Third – Yes, I cleared both site cache and browser cache after each change.
   Fourth – I tried this on a clean test site in the same multisite network with
   the same result.
 * Here is what is going on:
    1. I create a new page, add content, do not allow 
   commenting, save. 2. Go back to page list, reopen page to edit, no problems. 
   3. I add the SU shortcode [posts …..] to the page to display recent posts, and
   save. **** The page displays fine on the front end **** This is where things 
   go wrong 4. The page refreshes after saving and now the comments box is checked.
   5. I go back out to the page list and the the page is showing in the list. 6.
   I go back into the page and now the page’s permalink has been changed to the 
   link of the first post on the list. And now the original page comes up as a 404
   error – Page is Gone. 7. The permalink to the first post now displays the page
   with the shortcode and the post. **** When I remove the shortcode from the page,
   I can now uncheck the comment box however, the permalink does not change back.
 * The only way to correct this is to permanently delete the original page and make
   a new one.
 * Has anyone run into a same/similar situation/condition with this or another plugin?
 * Let me know if you need any other information that may be helpful.
 * Thanks,
    Bill .. .. .

 * I did some additional research. The issue is due to WPMUDEV Smartcrawl Plugin
   not SU as of this point.
