Removing icons in titles

Hi christopheran,

And thank you for using WP RSS Aggregator.

We’ve created a snippet for you that, if included with WordPress (perhaps in functions.php) will process all headings of all incoming items and transform them into a text-only version. This is a rough example, so please feel free to customize as needed.

Also please note that this will only work with Simple Feeds Bundle add-ons, and will not work if the Feed to Post add-on is installed.


if (true) {

if (!function_exists('my_normalize_rss_item_heading_chars')) {
function my_normalize_rss_item_heading_chars($text) {
// Replaces specifically the <| thing with a dash
$text = preg_replace('/[\x{25C4}]/u', '-', $text);
// Replaces all other "cool" chars with nothing
$text = preg_replace('/[^\x20-\x7E]/','', $text);
// Remove extra space around text
$text = trim($text);

return $text;
}
}

add_filter('wprss_populate_post_data', function($data, $item) {
/* @var $data array */
/* @var $item SimplePie_Item */

$data['post_title'] = my_normalize_rss_item_heading_chars($data['post_title']);

return $data;
});
}
