Wordpress 3.8.1 on Ubuntu Server 13.10 won't display shortcodes

Asked by Brian Fromme

On a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 13.10 on AWS, I add LAMP stack and enable mod_rewrite. Then install WP 3.8.1 and remove all plugins and themes, except for the "twentyfourteen" theme. With nothing else to interfere, I would expect to be able to use any of the standard shortcodes defined here: <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/">http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/</a>

So, I add a page and put the following on it's own line from the Text view of the page creation:

`[recipe title="Summer Pasta with Basil, Tomatoes and Cheese" servings="4-6" time="2hr 30mins" difficulty="easy"]`

Then, I Update the page and view it, which is here:

<a href="http://ec2-54-196-201-111.compute-1.amazonaws.com/wp/bug/">http://ec2-54-196-201-111.compute-1.amazonaws.com/wp/bug/</a>

None of the defined shortcodes work. I've turned on PHP error_log and find no errors from that page.

Sounds like a bug. Can someone suggest a way I can do more diagnostics?

I'm very sory, but this forum is related to questions regarding the Ubuntu OS. The development and debugging of third party web appliation, especially in versions not delivered by Ubuntu, is not on our focus. You should ask for assitence in a Wordpress related community or ask the developers directly.

This might be a good starting point: http://wordpress.org/support/

Please close this question then, so it is off your screens. Thanks!

Can you help with this problem?
