WAIT: Shortcode is no longer working properly after version 1.11

I’m testing version 1.11 of Bricks Builder in one of my projects using a staging environment, and during the site integrity check, I noticed that the shortcode stopped working correctly when applied inside a Nestable Tab.

I use the Nestable Tab feature to display dynamic posts, where each post contains an ACF field with a shortcode that should be displayed as the user selects the corresponding brand. This shortcode is generated by a plugin called WP File Download.

Here is the expected behavior of the shortcode in previous versions → https://support.avlmediagroup.com/download-hub/#klark-teknik

And here you can see how it’s malfunctioning in version 1.11. → Download Hub - AVL Support Portal

I’ve tested displaying the shortcode outside of the Nestable Tab, and it worked normally. The issue only occurs when the shortcode is inside a pane of the Nestable Tab.

Hi Marco.

Just to make sure, this is exact same section, exact same shortcode, and installation with same plugins as the original one?

Can you screenshot the structure of that Nestable Tab, so I see where you output the shortcode?

Thanks,
Matej

Thank you for the help Matej. Now, let’s move on to your questions.

  1. The installation is the same, as it is a replica of the site on a temporary server for testing purposes. Therefore, there are no differences in structure or code.

  2. I ran tests with all plugins deactivated, but the issue remained. The only exception was AT, as I depend on it to use ACF, so I can’t deactivate it. The problem only occurs with version 1.11 of Bricks.

Attached are the screenshots you requested.


I’ve had a similar issue with an 1.11 installation.

Except SOME shortcodes work; others do not. It’s almost like the shortcodes I used before the upgrade work; and those after the upgrade to 1.11 do not.

Hi,
thank you for screenshots.

Can you check if it works if you use code or/and shortcode element? Just make sure to enable code execution and “Parse dynamic data” for the code element.

Let me know.

Hi Matej, thank you for the feedback. I had already mentioned that I performed this test, but here is what you requested anyway.

As I mentioned earlier, the bug only occurs when the shortcode is placed inside a Nestable Tab.

In the screenshot and the link below, you can see that the same shortcode loads normally in different sessions. In the screenshot, I highlighted the expected behavior in the upper session and the error in the lower session.

Hello,

I would like to reproduce this issue locally, but I see that WP File Download is a paid plugin, to which I don’t have access.
Would be possible to get temporary login credentials to the staging website and if you can enable theme editing capabilities, so I can try something?
Best if you could send login credentials and a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase, so we can take a look.

Thank you.
Matej
