Going to the URL shows there’s not actually a “title”
try [wpws url=”http://www.mooball.com” query=”.project”] and you’ll see that the element with the class=”project” is pulled. Remember to include the . before the class as it won’t work without the period.
@rocketsprocket thanks for the help.
There is a title on that page but still
[wpws url=”http://www.mooball.com” query=”.project”] also returns nothing as does
[wpws url=”http://www.mooball.com” query=”#projects” ]
[wpws url=”http://www.mooball.com” query=”body” ]
and every possible variation I can think of.
Not one single query has ever returned a response. On this or any other domain.
[wpws url=”http://www.mooball.com” query=”.project”] returns a result for me. What are your settings in the plugin? I have
Enable shortcode in posts, pages/Enable shortcode in widgets/Enable template tag all checked and ‘display error handling’ turned on.
I’m picking you are using a shortcode but haven’t checked ‘enable shortcode in posts, pages’ checked.
My shortcode has been used in a widget.
Settings:
Enable WP Web Scraper – all 3 turned on
Error Handling: Display error details
Ive played with various user agents but no sign of any impact
Timeout set to 10 seconds
Cache to 0s
Im not getting any response in the sandbox so Ive not even bothered to do much testing with the short code but if I do I see nothing.
In the source code I see
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element ">
<div class="wpb_wrapper">

Sorry I should mention I do see “Error parsing: Query returned empty response” when error display turned on.
It seems to me that the problem must be something to do with my hosting environment. I would assume that this is not a bug in the product. So what Im looking for is advice on how I debug this and get to the cause.
Ive checked my PHP version and it seems fine but should I be doing some raw php commands to test my environment? Im happy to try to debug this but I need a few directions as to where to start.
TIA
