Hello,

I spent my site on a server with php7.0.33. With Views no problem.
But with the content models of times it does not work sometimes.

Example: hidden link
hidden link

Thanks

Hi there

I looked at the two links and can see one that works and one that does not.

On the one that does not, it is not only the Toolset shortcodes which are not working, I can see that shortcodes from other plugins are being printed rather than parsed as well.

I suspect that if you look in your debug logs you might find the cause (such as server memory issues).

If you haven't already, turn on the debug.log by editing your wp-config.php file and change the line with WP_DEBUG like so:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

That will create a debug.log file in your /wp-content/ directory which you can examine in any text editor. Try visiting the problem link again and then inspect the log. If you don't find the debug.log file it means it didn't generate any warnings or errors.

Let me know what you find, and please also provide the debug info in your next reply: hidden link

The problem with php7 is here :
[wpv-conditional if="( has_term('Rugby', 'sport-stage-detection', null) eq '1' )" ]

Thanks for help

There is nothing that looks wrong with the conditional shortcode.

What may be happening is that PHP7 introduced limits that affect the regular expressions used to parse what's inside the conditional shortcode (i.e. between the opening and closing wpv-conditional shortcode).

It could be that for some posts with slightly more content (once all interior shortcodes have been expanded) it pushes you over the limit, whereas for other posts it does not. In which case the only solution is to break up the content to be conditionally displayed into smaller blocks, repeating the conditional shortcode if required.

Did you find anything reported in the debug log?
