display-posts category shortcode suddenly stopped working

  So I had set up a directory of all my posts in a separate page using these short links:

  [display-posts category="Kelionės" include_date="true" date_format="(Y n j)" posts_per_page="-1" wrapper="div"]

  [display-posts category="Iš-gyvenimo" include_date="true" date_format="(Y n j)" posts_per_page="-1" wrapper="div"]

  [display-posts category="Dalinuosi" include_date="true" date_format="(Y n j)" posts_per_page="-1" wrapper="div"]

  Everything was working perfectly fine for about 1 year and a month ago it suddenly stopped working. I’ve tried adding and subtracting pieces of the shortcode but it still does not work.

  It starts working only when I add in another separate line of [display-posts] after these 3. But even then the 3 lines of shortcode split into categories do not work as intended (the date gets messed up).

  I’ve tried googling extensively but nothing came up. I am hoping someone can find the answers to my questions. Thank you!

  When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you.

  How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  What is the URL where you have these shortcodes?

  http://tomasbimbiris.lt/rodykle/ – so I have fixed it by adding include_exerpt=”true” which doesn’t work by the way, but it fixes the categories. Notice that “exerpt” is written with a mistake, but if I’d add a c in there, it would stop working. And I don’t need the excerpt, I need the shortcode to show what it is currently showing in my website.

  This is the shortcode I’m using that works the way I want but not how intended:

  [display-posts category="Kelionės" include_exerpt="true" include_date="true" date_format="(Y n j)" posts_per_page="-1"]

  [display-posts category="Dalinuosi" include_exerpt="true" include_date="true" date_format="(Y n j)" posts_per_page="-1"]

  [display-posts category="Iš-gyvenimo" include_exerpt="true" include_date="true" date_format="(Y n j)" posts_per_page="-1"]

  Well that is pretty odd.
