eBay Listing includes unexpected data

    Hi.

    I have a plugin installed called “WP Socializer”. A feature of that plugin allows me to include various share buttons on pages – one of which is the product page, which I have enabled so that users can share the products on other social networks.

    The listing that was generated and published to eBay using WP-Lister actually included the HTML from that plugin in the listing. And it inserted it immediately after the following placeholder I included in my template “product_content“, and before the rest of the html defined in that template.

    In an effort to get rid of it, I temporarily configured the plugin to exclude it when the “Post Type is Product”. That successfully hid the icons from the product detail page, but revising the listing on eBay (and even ending it and relisting it) still included the icons in the published listing.

    How do I prevent this from occurring?

    Below is the html that is being included.

    <div class=”wp-socializer wpsr-buttons”><span class=”wpsr-btn wpsr-srvc-social_buttons”><div class=”socializer sr-32px sr-fluid sr-icon-white sr-pad sr-popup”><span class=”sr-facebook “> <i class=”fa fa-facebook”></i> </span>
    <span class=”sr-twitter “> <i class=”fa fa-twitter”></i> </span>
    <span class=”sr-pinterest “> <i class=”fa fa-pinterest”></i> </span>
    <span class=”sr-tumblr “> <i class=”fa fa-tumblr”></i> </span>
    <span class=”sr-googleplus “> <i class=”fa fa-google-plus”></i> </span></div></span></div>

    In the interim, I’m going to try adding a CSS rule to hide the parent div via the Stylesheet panel on the Template Editor.

    Hello Allen.

    I am happy to help with this.

    Why not remove that code from the listing template in WP-Lister’s “templates” page and then save the listing template. Once you do that then revise the listings through WP-Lister, not directly on eBay. If you revise a listing on eBay, those changes made will be removed when WP-Lister updates the listing again.

    Kind regards,
    John

    Hello Allen.

    You may also want to change the “Shortcode processing” setting in WP-Lister’s advanced settings page to “off”.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks, John.

    That’s the issue – the code noted above actually is not in the template anywhere. It is being added automatically when published to eBay.

    I will try making the setting change you suggested (i.e. Shortcode Processing). That sounds reasonable – it could be that those icons are being inserted onto the page as a shortcode (I simply checked a checkbox to include them on pages below posts).

    Definitely worth a shot!
