 * Thankyou, I read that documentation and tried it, but the _raw_price-category
   didn’t work.
 * Not sure why I have been using ‘—-‘ (Double hyphen) instead of ‘|’ for the last
   4 years, but it has worked until recently.
 * Was double hyphen ever the correct syntax for separating dropdown select text
   and values ?

 * Update: There are two hyphens (minus sign) used to separate the text and value.
   My original post text had two hyphens, but for some reason, this forum reduced
   that to a single hyphen. So read one hyphen as two hyphens. Thanks.

 * Issue resolved after much investigation & some strange side-effects.
 * I had some special characters in the Form HTML, which worked when the site was
   hosted at GoDaddy, but not when on new host. (Same PHP & WordPress level. Same
   plugins & versions).
 * Think these special characters are called “Miscellaneous Symbols”. In my case,
   the “Cross of Lorraine”.
 * eg: “<p>Example of special character that caused the problem: ☨</p>”
 * When this was loaded as a Contact Form, the ‘MAIL’ tab contents was blank. When“
   Save” was clicked, I got “403 Forbidden – you don’t have permission to access
   this resource”.
 * After removing the “☨” in the FORM tab, it all worked as expected.

 * Hi Tony,
 * Thanks for your consideration.
 * Up to you. As a User, I see a need. Suggest it default to what you have currently,
   but allow the User to override the default setting & allow Show All by default
   when the page loads. My use case includes a list of past shows for on-demand 
   catchup (quite normal for radio), which Visitors won’t know about if they can’t
   see them. It’s not obvious & they are likely to not realize that there is valuable
   content currently not displayed.
   eg: [https://3mfm.com.au/show/the-rhythm-section/](https://3mfm.com.au/show/the-rhythm-section/)
 * Thanks, Rod
