Directory shortcode not working?

[James]

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>I’m a bit lost as to why my shortcode works on my homepage at https://shoehospitals.com but the directory shortcode: [[slp_directory style=”list” by=”city”]] doesn’t work here:</span>

<span class=”s2″>https://shoehospitals.com/austin/locations/</span&gt;

 

I have the current Directory, Experience, Pro, Premier, and standard plugin installed. I have not upgraded to WP 4.5 yet.

Hi James.

 

You must enter the shortcode not copy it from the documentation page..the docs page has html text and is not a unique SLP shortcode

so type it in on the page [slp……etc]

<p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>well i found the issue, the directory shortcode is case senstive and the standard shortcode is not.</span></p>
<p class=”p1″>Hopefully this can be helpful to others.</p>
<p class=”p1″>I would recommend documenting this as a bug.</p>

Hi James,

It is not a bug.

Happened to come up in today’s meeting with Lance:

Actually Lance  coded the base plugin  so the basic  slplus  shortcode , if someone puts in  ALL caps  redirects  (renders behind the scenes as lower case)_ so that works with either  capital letters or lower case letters, but shortcodes with attributes need to be in lower case.

Once upon a time ,  people who are not familiar with  the WP shortcodes codex and rules were writing in  to say  SLPLUS is  broken because they used all caps .  All  shortcodes in WP are lower case.
