Nevermind, got it…

functions.php

function stripGalleryShortcode($content){
	return preg_replace('/\[gallery\]/', '', $content);
}

custom template

remove_shortcode('gallery');
add_filter('the_content', 'stripGalleryShortcode', 10);

Thanks esmi, it works… but one last thing, it leaves the “[gallery]” on the page. Any suggestion on how to go about removing it??

Dee-de-deeee! Nevermind, I got it. Its being used with str_replace.

Thanks for the reply esmi.

I’m attempting to do it by post format.

strip_shortcodes( $content ) comes close, but that strips ALL shortcode.

Thanks for responding esmi, but question… is this a frontend function? I don’t want to remove the shortcode from the theme, only a specific post layout. Basically I want to be able to add the shortcode to a post within the edit screen, but stop it from being displayed on the published pages.

Sounds foolish, but its a little bit easier for the novice WP user to upload images to a post as a full gallery, vs creating the gallery then deleting the shortcode or creating the gallery via the media page.

@hedronist… Thank you
