I have built other websites using the SimplyRETS plugin and a different theme without issue. The issue arises when the X Theme is active using the Renew stack. I have contacted the plugin’s support team and have not heard back yet.
SimplyRETS plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-rets
For some reason the SimplyRETS plugin does not get along well with the X Theme. When I add any of the SimplyRETS shortcodes to any pages (even brand new blank pages) the shortcode is being printed to the screen instead of being interpreted. I tried deactivating all plugins, but nothing changed. I then switched the theme and the shortcodes magically started working.
Here is a live example to view on our staging server for the new website that is in development. On the home page of this site, scroll down to the second to last section of the page titled “Newest Listings In” and you’ll see the shortcode displaying. http://highcountrynchomes.homepocket.staging.wpengine.com/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
