Shortcodes In Feed Not Executing

    My feed details appear simple / tidy on most listener outlets (iTunes, for example) but Stitcher blasts out a chaotic mess of WP jargon.

    If you view the SOURCE of my feed, there are shortcodes strewn throughout that aren’t firing, creating a tangle.

    What’s the remedy?

    Hi @robin_dean

    The simplest solution to test out would be to change the setting in your Podcast -> Settings -> Feed Details where you see the option for “Episode description” please switch that to use the Post Excerpt. This should populate your feed with just the excerpt content, which should not have any shortcodes or other WP code in it.

    Let us know how that goes.

    My settings already reflect this … but items within <content:encoded> tags aren’t honoring it.

    Hi @robin_dean

    By default, the RSS Feed functionality strips out shortcodes. However, I do see the following shortcodes in your RSS feed content

    [build_link]

    I am not aware of any WordPress shortcodes for build_link, so is this a shortcode that’s made available via a theme or plugin. It might be that this only is being applied after we strip out shortcodes.
