flash news problem

Hi atozsoft.net,
shortcodes are not “rendered” in the excerpt but unfortunately shows the shortcode.
You can try to add this filter in the “functions.php” file of the theme:

function modify_excerpt( $text ) {
	$text = preg_replace( '|\[(.+?)\](.+?\[/\\1\])?|s', '', $text);
	return $text;
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'modify_excerpt' );

This should remove shortcodes from excerpt.

hi CrestaProject,

thanks for your reply.

but this did not work.

Yes you’re right, in that function I did not use “the_excerpt()” function.
I’ll fix this in the next theme update, so you can use the function that I gave you in the previous answer ??

Hi atozsoft.net,
I think this code will solve your problem:

function modify_excerpt( $text ) {
	$text = preg_replace( '|\[(.+?)\](.+?\[/\\1\])?|s', '', $text);
	return $text;
}
add_filter( 'wp_trim_words', 'modify_excerpt' );
