* Hello,
* when I use the plugin the popup displays the normals page and after that the
source of the page. How to remove the source code?

* Yes I also see this after the wordpress 5.5.3 update. I believe something changed
to make this plugin’s “$inserted_page->ID” no longer work properly. So it pulls
the data from the page, where you insert the code instead of the page you wanted
to insert.
* Downgrading to previous versions of this plugin doesn’t help. And it used to
work just fine a week ago.

* We see it working fine on WordPress 5.5.3 on all our installs, can you test and
see if there’s a specific conflict with another plugin, or provide some steps
to reproduce on vanilla WordPress?
* I’m also unclear what you both mean by “the source of the page” or “the data
from the page”; maybe provide some screenshots to illustrate the problem.

* I troubleshooted my problem to an issue with the custom template.
* I use a custom template, which works fine on it’s own – when inseted in a page
or post.
I then insert that template shortcode into an ad (advanced ads plugin–
for tracking purposes). Which also works fine when inserted in a page/post. I
then insert this ad into my newsletter ad slot (The Newsletter plugin), where
it doesn’t work anymore. Divs and their styles get loaded, but are empty, meaning
the php doesn’t get excecuted.
* But the strange part is, when I use one of the built in display options in the
shortcode (title, post-thumbnail …) instead of the custom template, it does get
loaded in my newsletter (in the same way as above – ad inside newsltter).
* If I copy the same code I have in my template and replace one of the built in
parameters (title, post-thumbnail …) in insert-pages.php it also works fine.
* So I feel like the custom template might cause too long of a loop?
* Again this only started happening recently and rolling back both insert pages
or the newsletter plugin didn’t have any effect.
* It’s not that big of a deal, now that I know just editing insert-pages.php is
a workaround, but having it in a seperate template file is nicer for easier updates.

* Does your custom template call `the_post();` at the beginning? If not, it’s possible
that the global `$post` variable is not being populated. Another thought, the
plugin itself calls `wp_reset_postdata()` after finishing, so your template shouldn’t
do that (unless you are doing subqueries). WordPress doesn’t have a great way
to visualize the stack of subqueries you’re performing, and it’s easy to unbalance
your push/pop actions, so it sounds like that’s what is happening here.

* It does have the_post(). I tried 2 different codes both with it.
* I don’t see wp_reset_postdata() in my newsletter theme file, but it does automatically
populate with an article list with `foreach($new_posts as $post)`. So yeah, it
might be in other files somewhere.

* Thanks, we’ll try to see if we can reproduce this with the templates you shared.
* And just to clarify, you’re saying it works when you paste the template code
above within insert-pages.php, in a section that renders one of the other display
types?

* Yes, I pasted it in insert-pages.php, lines 573+ under case title and it works
fine that way.
* ```
switch ( $attributes['display'] ) {
case 'title':
?>
