Per user filters

    I changed the function to show the broken shortcodes to the admin/developer. Around line 70 I changed the function to the following and it appears to be working fine although I don’t know if it’s the proper place for it.

    public static function register_filters() {
		$filters = (array) apply_filters( 'hide_broken_shortcodes_filters', array( 'the_content', 'widget_text',  ) );

		foreach ( $filters as $filter )
			if( !current_user_can('administrator') ) {
			add_filter( $filter, array( __CLASS__, 'do_shortcode' ), 1001 );
	}
}

    Also is there a bettwer way to do this like a remove_filter or remove_action I could use instead so I don’t have to change the plugin itself? I saw on your faq’s how to remove individual shortcodes, but my goal is to hide the shortcodes for select people. I have a hell of a time trying to understand classes. The codex says you have to do something like this when the plugin is in a class:

    global $my_class;
remove_filter( 'the_content', array($my_class, 'class_filter_function') );

    I can’t figure out what to change $myclass and class_filter_function to and maybe I have to add a priority since this gets called late.

    @codecandid:

    Here’s one way to do it (placing the following in your theme’s functions.php or a mu-plugin:

    function show_broken_shortcodes_to_admins( $default, $shortcode, $content ) {
        // For administrators, show the unhandled shortcode
        if ( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) )
                return $content[0];
        // Otherwise, let the plugin do its thing
        return $default;
}
add_filter( 'hide_broken_shortcode', 'show_broken_shortcodes_to_admins', 10, 3 );

    Let me know if you have any questions about it.
