Well, it’s doing what I need it to do on the site i’m working on. The first and 2nd change I posted. I haven’t had any problems, then again I haven’t tested for every possible angle this can break at.

For a perfect global fix I’d need to spend more time on it or if anyone else has time to finish what was started.

Ok done.

$content = preg_replace('/\[.*?\]/', '', $content);

Just replace that line of code I added with this.

It will only select [et_pb] tags.. if perhaps words are wrapped like this [random words] they will stay as is.

I’ve added an example that shows a word wrapped in square brackets.

I like your plugin, so I’ve decided to fix it for myself and anyone else having this problem with Divi theme.

So in the first if/else statement under apply_filters(). Add in the regular expression. It removes all content that begins with [et_pb and ends with the closing square bracket.

if($post_page_description) {
    $post_page_description = $post_page_description;
} else {
    $post = get_post($post->ID);
    $content = apply_filters('get_the_content', $post->post_content);
    $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?et_pb.*?\]/', '', $content);
    $content_chars = substr($content, 0, 300);
    $page_description = strip_tags($content_chars);
    $post_page_description = str_replace(array("\n", "\t", "\r"), '', $page_description);
}

I’m using Divi theme and before it would pull the text directly from the content.. Now it shows the shortcodes.. If I add an excerpt it works, but I want it to pull the first few lines from the content of the post like it was before.
