    Hello,

    I wonder if you can help me.

    I recently started to use WPBakery (visual composer) and Post to Google My Business.
    I noticed that blog posts posted to Google my business shown some codes. WPBakary support team has informed me that:
    “It looks like the plugin at your end does not execute the shortcodes and hence display them in text format. If the plugin developer adds an ability to render the shortcodes and then pass the content to Google, it will prevent such display at your end.”
    Please find the sample of the blog post below. I removed the post from google my business temporarily.

    Can you please help?
    Thank you.

Even if you’ve stocked up, it still takes time to change a cartridge. If you’re busy and rely on your printer, there’s an easy solution. Epson’s EcoTank printer has an ultra-high-capacity ink tank system, that completely removes the need for cartridges.

    Hi there!

    Assuming you are using the auto-post function, you can strip out the Visual Composer shortcodes with the following code snippet:

    
function mbp_autopost_strip_shortcodes($args, $location){
	$args['summary'] = preg_replace("~(?:\[/?)[^\]]+/?\]~s", '', $args['summary']);
	return $args;
}
add_filter('mbp_autopost_post_args', 'mbp_autopost_strip_shortcodes', 10, 2);

    You can do this using the Code Snippets plugin, or by pasting the code in your themes’ functions.php

    Hi Pawel,

    If you’re using the “Quick Publish to GMB” checkbox, then yes.
