Thanks. I have rolled back the slider on https://www.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/ and disabled auto-updates on it for now. Looking forward to seeing the updated version. 🙂

Sadly, the 1.4.1 update has not restored the function of shortcodes like the Events Manager ones I am using. The dates, times and links for activities still don’t appear in the slider text… 🙁

As I mentioned above, the short-codes work just fine elsewhere on the site. For example, on this page:
https://www.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/activities/
It is only in the slider that they no longer work. There’s even a “smoking gun” in the update notes for version 1.4.0 where it says this:
“Added recursion protection in slide content output (mainly to protect against slider-within-slider in the block editor) – this removes shortcode support within the slide content”
My point is that the change noted above has killed not only the small number of short-codes that might cause a recursion problem, but also all the other short-codes provided by other plug-ins that don’t cause a problem. The short-codes I have in my slides have been working just fine for years.

The sudden stop correlates with exactly one change, the update of Cryout Serious Slider to version 1.4.0.
Reviewing that version’s change notes, you will there’s one about short-code changes that I quoted above.
The short-codes work just fine elsewhere on the site. For example, on this page:
https://www.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/activities/
The details in the bullet points on that page used to appear in the correcponding sliders, and those sliders still have the short-codes un-changed, but they no longer work.
