Last month a customer noted that the output of my Do-It-Yourself shortcodes plugin was interspersed with the share buttons from Add-To-Any. I reproduced the problem. I also discovered some strange behaviour with Jetpack. Today, while testing my fix I discovered another problem… Jetpack Related Posts attaches itself to the first invocation of ‘the_content’ filter.

Problem with DIY-oik v1.3

Here we have two DIY shortcodes. The first creates a link to oik-plugins.com, the other creates a link to oik-plugins.co.uk This is how the loikp shortcode is coded. When these DIY shortcodes are used in a post then we can get unexpected results with Add-To-Any, Jetpack Sharing and Jetpack Related Posts. oik-plugins
oik-plugins.co.uk

Expected results

• Jetpack’s Share this: buttons are also expected to appear below the content
• The Related Posts section is supposed to appear at the end of the post!
• Add-To-Any’s sharing links are also expected to appear only once

Actual – unexpected results

With DIY-oik v1.3

• The Related section appears after the first DIY shortcode
• Add-To-Any links appear after each DIY shortcode
• Jetpack’s Share this: links are missing
