This might be an issue when using the Cryptocurrency Pricing list or any other plugin that has a similar shortcode. If you are using WordPress version 4.4 or lower, you will have to escape the ccpw_setpage parameter in your code like so:

p>Hi, a href="{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}">{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/a>/p> p>{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/p> p>{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/p> p>{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/p>

p>Hi, a href="{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}">{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/a>/p> p>{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/p> p>{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/p> p>{{ ccpw_setpage('crypto-pricing', 'https://www.cryptocurrency-pricing.com') }}/p>
The above code will use the URL of the crypto pricing list but will escape the text using backslashes and ampersands to prevent any security exploits and SQL injection attacks from taking place on your site.
