Shortcode in Exceprt

  • I was wondering if there is some way to remove shortcodes from showing up in the post excerpts?

    Some of my posts have a shortcode near the start of the post, and when I look at the archive pages to lost the posts I can see the raw shortcode in the excerpt. I would like to be able to not have that shown.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

  • Hi streamworksaudio. Don’t know if this is exactly addresses your issue but you might try adding this to a child theme functions.php file:

    /* Default WP process stirps shortcodes and tags from post content. That also removes the embedded shortcode text so, if the post doesn't have an excerpt, the excerpt that is automatically-generated from the post content is then missing the text that was in the shortcode. Override this process and remove the shortcode but retain the embedded text.
*/
function my_custom_excerpt($text = '') {
	$raw_excerpt = $text;
	if ( '' == $text ) {
		$text = get_the_content('');
		// $text = strip_shortcodes( $text );
		$text = do_shortcode( $text );
		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
		$excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', 55);
		$excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . '[...]');
		$text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more );
	}
	return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt);
}
remove_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt'  );
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'my_custom_excerpt'  );

    If that doesn’t work here are a couple of other posts that might help:
