Excerpt to not show image caption

Hello,
I’m pleased that you like our plugin ??

Are you using shortcode (somethings like this:
[your_shortcode_name some_parameters] image caption here [/your_shortcode_name]) to manage image caption?

If I’m understanding you correctly, no. I’m using the shortcode for your plugin, otherwise the post being displayed is a typical WordPress post with no shortcodes used.

I’m not really sure if I’m following what you’re saying though.

Can you include HTML content (copy from “Text” tab in post editor) of a post?
Thank you,

Ah ok… sure enough. I never noticed how WP handles captions.

Thank you for your information.
In next CV version, new option will be introduced to remove any content of HTML tags, shortcode from excerpt.

Hi,

It seems I still have the problem on my website.
Any idea whats going wrong?

https://www.insearchofumami.com/blog/

I added the following code to the fuctions.php file of CV.

$result = substr_replace($result,'',0,strpos($result,'1 ')+2);

To the trim_words function.
That helped.. but when a new update will come out it will overwrite my added code. Do you know how I could add this to the child theme’s functions.php file?

Thank you in advance!

Dear @jaydee01
Please:
1/ remove that code in function trim_words
2/ add this code to file functions.php of your active theme:

// Content Views - Modify excerpt
add_filter( 'pt_cv_trim_length_excerpt', 'cvp_trim_length_excerpt', 100, 3 );
function cvp_trim_length_excerpt( $args, $full_excerpt, $length ) {
	$args = substr_replace( $args, '', 0, strpos( $args, '1 ' ) + 2 );
	return $args;
}

Best regards,

Perfect!
Works like a charm.
Thank you so much.

Have a good one,

It is my honor.
Best regards,
