    Some of our products have WordPress galleries (gallery shortcodes) in the their description. Is it possible to strip them out for of feed the same way you do it for the image tags?

    Thank you

    Nikolaiii, are there many different shortcodes? I mean if there is only one you could maybe perform an “edit value” action on it and replace the code with an empty string?

    Hi Michel,
    Well we have at least one gallery for each product in the description field, so that won’t be an option for us…

    Could you give me a few examples of how your shortcodes look?

    If you send me a message to michel(at)wpmarketingrobot.com (I need your mail address) I will send you a patch tomorrow that will filter out these galleries.

    In the next update I will include an option in the settings page to filter WordPress galleries out of the descriptions.

    Yes I got it.

    Just to be sure I make the correct patch, you are using the free version right?

    Nikolaii, I mailed a .zip file to you that should remove the gallery shortcuts from the description text.

    Please let me know if it works correctly or not,
