Caption shortcode showing in excerpt

    My writers insist on using Media Manager to insert images to articles and also to give them captions. This is fine for those pages, but on my home page I pull in the most recent posts as excerpts and it pulls in the comments as body copy.

    [caption id=”attachment_14166″ align=”alignright… starts off one of the posts’ excerpts, and there are many more. I tried a few online tips to remove captions from home page but nothing worked. I have turned off all plugins and that did not fix it either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • hey try placing the shortcode after the text and past

    <!–more–>

    in between the text and short code. this will stop the short code from appearing on the front page because it separates the two . and it will not show up on post page. let me know if it works

    I found that the code that it was using was the culprit. I was using:
    <? php echo dp_clean($post->post_content, 350); ?> […]
    But swapped that out with the following and it works fine:
    <?php the_excerpt(”); ?>
