Drop Cap

Any chance you can link me to a page where it’s happening?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. As you can see in this test page the first letter is missing:
https://www.fotografihistoria.se/fotografer-i-hudiksvall/

If you compare with this page, the first letter is there:
https://www.fotografihistoria.se/category/stationara/

The problem must be what Drop Cap is making a code: [dropcap]F[/dropcap]otograf.

Interesting – what happens if you make it so your list shows the full post instead of the excerpt?

In full post view the first letter is there:
https://www.fotografihistoria.se/fotografer-i-hudiksvall/

Makes sense, shortcodes are filtered out of the Excerpts.

However, you shouldn’t need a shortcode to do it, just use the CSS3 method here: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/drop-caps/

Yes, shortcodes is filtered out of the Excerpts, but in Excerpts made by the theme GeneratePress removes the shortcode but keeps the first letter intact but WP Show Post removes also the first letter in the shortcode, why?

Ah, I think I see the issue.

I’ll work it into the next version.

If you’d like to fix now, do this:

1. Open the plugin in “Plugins > Edit”.
2. Find the functions.php file
3. Near the top, find: $text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

Delete that line.

Let me know ??

Thank you Tom!
The deleted line in functions.php made the first letter visible again.
I wait for the next version.

Awesome ??
