All forums showing on one page, despite using [forum forum=ID] short code

Hi, I’m trying to display different forums on different pages. The code [forum forum=ID] worked fine until I then created a second category (for a different section of the website). Now any forum from the second category shows up but is preceded by all the forums from the first category.

I noted a similar issue raised back in 2017, and you advised it was due to other plug-ins. I only have WP mail, my private site, and Forminator installed. I don’t know where to start looking for the problem/what sort of things in the settings might lead to this type of issue. Can anyone offer any guidance? Has anyone fixed this issue between 2017 and now?!

Thanks!

Hello @krobertslewis

First of all: Sorry for the late reply! Did you enter the forum-shortcode in the normal content-area of your page or inside an extra field which got provided by one of your plugins?

Hi @asgaros

Its the normal content area.

If you have two shortcode, the forum shortcode must be first, otherwise the whole forum will appear.

I had to do that on my site

Thanks Guillaume. Do you mean that the shortcode [forum forum=ID] needs to be added above any other shortcodes i’m using (eg from other plug-ins)? Or do you mean that the shortcode should look different from the [forum forum=ID] that i’ve used?

@krobertslewis sorry for my english

When I have

[shortcode x]
[forum forum=ID]
I have all forums

[forum forum=ID]
[shortcode x]
I have only 1 forum

 

Look https://asgaros.com/support/topic/extend-shortcode-to-show-specific-content-only/?part=4#postid-9198 and others

Yes, other shortcodes can lead to problems sometimes if they dont output/parse/render their logic correctly. But in this case its an issue of the other plugin because it prevents other shortcodes from running properly.
