output from a shortcode not appearning

Hi there, the plugin tries to strip out shortcodes from the content it finds to avoid shortcodes going out to social media.

If you’re using a shortcode to generate content that only gets displayed on render…then ROP would not be able to get that data because ROP reads the data from the post content in the database. Not on render of the post. So unfortunately ROP would not work in this case. You’d have to use another share content option such as Post Title or custom field.

You can also use excerpts with the help of this plugin: https://docs.revive.social/article/974-how-to-use-excerpt-field-for-shares-in-revive-old-posts

Hi Uriahs,

Thank you for the reply, that explains why it didnt work. What you suggest is to use the short code as a custom field? I didnt quite understand how the excerpts can help, should I put the short code in the excerpts somewhere in teh post?

Thank you for your help to make it understand, your plugin is great and would love to continue to use it somehow!

Hi again, no what i mean is adding excerpts to your posts, and having ROP share post excerpts, but that would mean for posts that don’t have excerpts…ROP would fall back to the content…which you said is a shortcode.

If you want to make use of custom fields, then here’s a doc for that: https://docs.revive.social/article/480-how-to-use-custom-fields-content-url-hashtags-in-revive-old-post

In that doc it focuses on creating your own…but if you already have a custom field present with content then you can use it as the share content.

Alternatively, you can switch to sharing the Post Title instead of the Post Content.
