Static block shortcodes not working - 1.9.2.2

[Zoloto]

So i've updated our website from 1.9.2.1 to 1.9.2.2 and ALL static blocks added in a form of "shortcodes" are not working any more on any places. Widgets are still working, but static blocks shortcodes on pages, m2epro descriptions are not working. Any help guys? Thanks!

Shortcode example:

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="footer_links"}}

EDIT: Forgot to mention that i've tried using a fresh install of 1.9.2.2 and static block shortcodes is not working out of the box

MAGENTO_ROOT/var/log/system.log shows this error also:

You probably need to add the block types you're using to the allowed blocks through System => Permissions => Blocks:

I had the same issue with using shortcakes after upgrading to 1.9.2.2. Static blocks on a CMS page were no longer showing.

I updated permissions the blocks thro' Permissions > Blocks w/o any success.

However, re-adding the blocks to the CMS page using the Insert Widget method worked for me. So I now have the following:

<div class="offers">
{{widget type="cms/widget_block" template="cms/widget/static_block/default.phtml" block_id="18"}}
</div>

Cheers,

ps - i'm a little confused about the role of Permissions > Blocks. For example, I'm using static blocks in phtml files (using short code) and these are displaying correctly. So, presumably Permissions only applies to CMS pages?

dudesjoerd suggested a working solution for me. I guess they should have just added "cms/block" by default on the block permissions. Or is it a bad idea now?

[toddstoffel]

Adding the block to System > Permissions > Blocks resolved it for me as well.

New feature...Don't know why, but this is a new feature....

You have to add Block Class Name similar to the one you use for type in System > Permissions > Blocks.

Not Block ID or Block Name!

Permissions did work well for me

Given the confusion caused by this upgrade, I wrote a little blog post to explain what causes this issue and how to fix it. I'm new to this, so any feedback is appreciated.
