Title: PHP enable error Last modified: January 31, 2026 --- # PHP enable error * Resolved [sipos90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sipos90/) * (@sipos90) * [5 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-enable-error/) * On the homepage of _[ redundant link deleted ]_, PHP code has been embedded for years, but recently its execution stopped working on its own. * For example: I created the shortcode [the_ad id=”2740″] with the following content: * ```wp-block-code ``` * I enabled the “PHP enable” option. * I inserted the above shortcode on the homepage. * Result: In the page source, the full PHP code is displayed: * ```wp-block-code ``` * But nothing from the above code appears on the homepage itself. (However, if I save plain “text” content, it does appear.) * In the page source view, the PHP code is shown with both opening and closing tags, but it is not rendered on the website. * What could be the cause of this error? It worked fine for years. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-enable-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [sipos90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sipos90/) * (@sipos90) * [5 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-enable-error/#post-18772411) * Can u help me anything, please? * Your plugin is broken on all my websites. So it’s certain that the error is in your plugin files and the function is broken on all your clients.

We will check this as soon as possible. Sorry for the delay. * Thread Starter [sipos90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sipos90/) * (@sipos90) * [5 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-enable-error/#post-18772432) * Thank you, I’m very much looking forward to your response/fix. What I’ve found: the plugin does not work properly on the latest WP versions. With the newest WP version available on December 9, your plugin definitely still worked correctly. With the WP version available on December 27, it no longer does. * Thread Starter [sipos90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sipos90/) * (@sipos90) * [5 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-enable-error/#post-18772649) * I further narrowed down the possible causes of the issue by restoring a backup and disabling updates. The problem was not caused by the new WordPress version, but by an update of the Advanced Ads plugin. * On all of my websites, Advanced Ads version 2.0.14 works fine, but version 2.0.16 is faulty everywhere. (I was not able to test version 2.0.15.) * Could you please check the plugin issue? * At the moment, my websites are working properly with Advanced Ads updates disabled. * Plugin Support [Martin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martin11ph/) * (@martin11ph) * [5 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-enable-error/#post-18772705) * Hi [@sipos90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sipos90/), Yes, of course. Thanks for trying to narrow it down! Our devs have already been made aware of this. We appreciate your persistence on this and hope to isolate it further and/ or resolve the root cause. * Thread Starter [sipos90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sipos90/) * (@sipos90) * [5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-enable-error/#post-18774321) * Any news?

A fix is ready and about to be released. We are just waiting for final details from the WP Plugins team as the release is being checked for security issues and guideline violations. * Plugin Support [ahmeddr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahmeddr/) * (@ahmeddr) * [5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-enable-error/#post-18775555) * Hi [@sipos90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sipos90/), * Thank you for your patience. * We’ve received a response from WordPress and will implement the final changes tomorrow.
