Its directly in my theme. Same location as the property-overview.php file which is working. It just doesn’t seem to want to use the property-overview-featured- shortcode.php file. * Where is the source code for the [featured_properties] shortcode? Perhaps I could try and follow the code and see why it isn’t using the right file… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-Property - WordPress Powered Real Estate and Property Management] Featured properties shortcode no longer working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/) * Thread Starter [nmcmahon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nmcmahon/) * (@nmcmahon) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/#post-10792776) * It wasn’t ticked, but after ticking it, that sadly did not make any difference. It still uses the property-overview.php template, not the property-overview-featured- shortcode.php. * Nothing was done other than the update. * My idea would be that in the property-overview.php, if I can tell if the featured =true option was passed, I could add some logic and testing “if($featured == true) { … }” for example. Then I could display the output differently (in the same way I used to do in the “property-overview-featured-shortcode.php” template). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-Property - WordPress Powered Real Estate and Property Management] Featured properties shortcode no longer working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/) * Thread Starter [nmcmahon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nmcmahon/) * (@nmcmahon) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/#post-10792513) * I am aware of that, but it is using the “property-overview.php” template file. Is there any way within that file I can check for the featured=true? * That way I could update the template file to display the properties how I want to (how I currently have them in my “property-overview-featured-shortcode.php” file). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-Property - WordPress Powered Real Estate and Property Management] Featured properties shortcode no longer working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/) * Thread Starter [nmcmahon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nmcmahon/) * (@nmcmahon) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/#post-10791773) * I am not sure what version I was on before. Have updated to version 2.3.8. I think it was version 2.2 before but can’t be sure. * I am using a custom theme. The previous version allowed me to duplicate the shortcode files from the plugin into my theme so it would use them. * If the “property-overview-featured-shortcode.php” file doesn’t work, is there any way of telling if featured=true has been passed to the [property-overview] shortcode? That way I could update the property-overview.php file to display the properties differently when its featured. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-Property - WordPress Powered Real Estate and Property Management] Featured properties shortcode no longer working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/) * Thread Starter [nmcmahon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nmcmahon/) * (@nmcmahon) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-properties-shortcode-no-longer-working/#post-10785371) * Hi [@mariakravchenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariakravchenko/), * Apologies – that was a typo in my original post. My file is already called “property- overview-featured-shortcode.php”, but the [featured_properties] shortcode is still using the “property-overview.php” file instead. * Thanks, * Niall Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total)
