    Hello team,

    I was trying out the new MailPoet3 and I spotted an issue with the Fusion Builder from Avada.
    This post builder insert many shortcodes to format a post. MailPoet is supposed to remove those shortcodes but when you use the “Latest Post” element from the newsletters builder, it considers them as text.

    You end up with something that looks like:
    Title
    Thumbnails
    [shortcode][shortcode][shortcode][shortcode][shortcode][shortcode]

    Moreover, would it be possible to add one other option of what to display?
    Currently you can only show either the title, or either the title + thumbnails plus excerpts.
    Nonetheless I would like to show the title and only the thumbnails, which more appealing.

    Thanks team,
    Best,
    Pierre at oceanfact.com

  • Hi Pierre,

    This is not a bug. The plugin takes the contents of a post “as is”, so if there are [shortcode] entries that are usually rendered by your custom theme, they will be included as raw text. We do not want to decide on users’ behalf what to include and what to exclude. Some plugins may use **foo** as a shortcode format, some may use [foo], and some may use @#$^%foo@#$^%. How are we supposed to know that all these are shortcodes? We won’t even bother.

    As for your second question, this is something that we already have on our list of enhancements. No ETA for when it will be implemented as we have more pressing things to work on at the moment.

    Thanks,
    MailPoet Team.

    So then, I do wonder why it is not consistent?
    Some of the post look just fine, some don’t and I am using the EXACT same template.
    I even copy paste between the templates.

    If shortcodes are an issue, why don’t you let us edit the text?
    The tool to select post by post let us edit the text so that you could correct something if something went wrong. Nonetheless the one that shows the latest post doesn’t. It would be good to have the same capabilities as it seems it takes the post, put it in the newsletters and turns it to text. If for the plugin finding shortcodes is too much work, I don’t mind checking and removing the things myself if I have the possibility to.
    Or maybe add a feature to remove the shortcodes? You see them in the newsletters so you know which symbols they use [blabla] **blibli** and then, we would have a tool to remove them.
    Inside the tool
    1) Select the type of shortcodes typing the symbols ourselves
    2) The tool search for the symbols (and we are the one entering the list of them so your tool would only have to search something specific)
    3) The tool remove them based on what we gave him, Like a simple search/replace.
    Search for symbols X-string-Y, remove the the whole thing.

    Then again, I am not dealing with plugins or themes but it seems pretty simple to do if we are the one providing the symbol types.

    Thanks,
    Pierre Olivier

    Pierre,

    Could you please send us the contents of 2 posts: one where shortcode are removed an one where they aren’t. You can use the blue speech bubble icon on any of the plugin pages to get in touch with us directly.

    Regards,
    MailPoet Team.
