# Shortcode throws blank screen

 * Have tried putting shortcode for wp_stripe_plaid into Avada Fusion Builder and
   then tried Classic editor and then tried Block editor. None of the above seem
   to parse the shortcode. All text and all content on the page goes blank but anything
   else shows (header, footer). Once I remove the shortcode, the page works good
   for displaying all other content.
 * Have you seen any issues with the shortcode or is there an update for this plugin.
   There are some composer files in the plugin folder which may lead me to believe
   that this is on Github. Is there an updated version or are the developers planning
   on bring this plugin up to speed?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-throws-blank-screen%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey there.
 * Can you put the shortcode in something other than Avada Fusing Builder and send
   along an example? Classic editor in the “text” tab or on gutenberg is fine.
 * Also, can you assure debug is enabled and locate your error in wp-content/debug.
   log?

 * Thanks for the fast response on this. Here is what I came up with.
 * Already tried the shortcode in all three editor types. Even tried to isolate 
   it by putting it on the page by itself.
 * The only error is related to HubToWord ExtendSearch:
    `Undefined variable: search_label
   in /home/ipsunpower/staging/1/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/functions.php
   on line 196`

 * Looks like I can get back the page by removing the ‘not’ conditional from `line
   204 in public/class-wp-stripe-plaid-public.php`
 * But even if I turn on or off, the Form Visablility it will do the same thing,
   that is: throw a _“Login to make a payment”_ message on the page.
 * I have also tried several states of logins, i.e., Admin, Subscriber, Author, 
   etc.
 * P.S. Visibility is misspelled and the wording “Require users to be logged in 
   to make a payment.” is very ambiguous as to what the Yes, No are doing.
 * ()No
    ()Yes Does this mean user is required to be logged in or does this lead
   someone to believe that the form is visible if you click Yes and not visible 
   if you click No?
 * Hope this is helpful in translations.

 * Commenting out line 215 fixes it but not sure if this will work in production
   or not.
 * `//Wp_Stripe_Plaid_Public::get_all_stripe_customers( false );`

 * I’m not sure I quite follow. I can answer this though. “Require users to be logged
   in to make a payment.” If you check yes, it means “yes, you require the user 
   to be logged in”. If you check “no”, it means “no, you don’t require the user
   to be logged in.
 * Have you tried with the default WordPress theme to assure there are no theme 
   conflicts? Disabled other plugins?
 * If you comment out line 215 I can’t say for sure what will happen but I’d suspect
   that you’d create a new customer with every transaction.

 * Yes, Justin. We tried new theme (twentysixteen) and have this on a staging site
   so we were able to disable all plugins, one at a time even. The logging is not
   showing anything whatsoever for this plugin. And we get no errors even with WP_DEBUG
   on.
 * The issue is that the shortcode will not show any form fields, or anything, for
   that matter, on the page. (unless line 215 is commented out)
 * I will track the function on line 215 to see where and what it is doing. Maybe
   there is an answer there. It maight be a “path” issue with the site being on 
   a staging site, maybe? Not sure if that should matter but I will keep you posted
   if I find anything.

 * Line 215 just checks to see if you want to require users to log in or not. If
   you do, it requires you be logged in to see the form.

 * Hmm, I did get this plugin to work. Apparently there is some glitch in an outdated
   extension WP RSS Aggregator – Excerpts and Thumbnails. It took many tries to 
   find the culprit due to cache on Siteground.
