I have the following <div>
<div class="lft">
<h3> List of plants that include </h3>
[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-search-term param='wpv-complaint-search-key']' ne '0' )"]
<u><span style="font-size: 18px">Medicinal Complaint / Use</span></u>:<p><b> [get_term_data_custom parameter="wpv-complaint-search-key" taxonomy="complaint-search-key"]</b></p>
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-search-term param='wpv-system']' ne '0' )"]
<u><span style="font-size: 18px">System / State</span></u>:<p><b>[get_term_data_custom parameter="wpv-system" taxonomy="system"]</b></p>
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-search-term param='wpv-action-medicinal']' ne '0' )"]
<u><span style="font-size: 18px">Activity / Interpretation</span></u>:<p><b>[get_term_data_custom parameter="wpv-action-medicinal" taxonomy="action-medicinal"]</b></p>
[/wpv-conditional]
<h3>In their Medicinal Complaints/ Other Uses</h3>
</div>

which returns the code string (see uploaded image) instead of the search term.
Please can you help me resolve this.

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please check where the custom shortcode "get_term_data_custom" is added? if its added using code snippet the code snippet is activated or if the custom shortcode missing you should try to restore the "get_term_data_custom" shortcode.

Thanks Minesh for your prompt reply.
I think you've identified the problem.
My problem is the snippet no longer exists - so I don't know what to do.
I'll check if I have any old backups that contain this snippet.
Will let you know.
Your help is very much appreciated

I found this PHP code snippet:

<?php
add_shortcode( 'get_term_data_custom', 'get_term_data_custom_func');
function get_term_data_custom_func($atts){
$parameter = $atts['parameter'];
$taxonomy = $atts['taxonomy'];

if ( (!empty($parameter)) && (!empty($taxonomy)) && (!empty($_GET[$parameter])) ) {
$category = get_term_by('slug', $_GET[$parameter], $taxonomy, 'ARRAY_A');
if($category) {
return $category['name'];
}
}
}

So what do I need to do now?

Thanks for your help

I opened the database and ran SQL:

SELECT * FROM wps8_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%[plant-complaint-search]%';

got: MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0072 seconds.)

Thanks Minesh for identifying the problem.
I inserted this into the page I was getting the error:

[xyz-ips snippet="plant-complaint-search"]
[wpv-view name="search-by-complaint" view_display="layout"]

and it solved the problem.
Couldn't have done it without you
Much appreciated
Thanks
