Strip Shortcodes

  • I tried this plugin expecting it to not work I was pleasantly surprised at how well it did except for one thing.

    Please could you add an option to strip out shortcodes for it to work for me.
    I use visualcomposer.

    So here’s the rundown of my experience with these guys.
    My request : add missing ability to strip shortcodes.

    There are 2 000 000+ installs of WPBakery Page builder ( previously called Visual Composer) and on everyone of those sites this plugin would be Broken not to mention all the other WordPress installs where people are using short-codes. So in my opinion I reported a bug.

    They wanted me to pay to have their coders develop this option, which I thought was wrong. It would improve their plugin for all so why should I be the one to pay for that.
    I decided not too and will investigate other options. They seemed a bit mickey mouse to me for what I believe is a large company. No ill feelings, just didn’t gel with such a business model, each to their own.

    Thanks for sharing your experience derrickmg.

    At the moment, this functionality is the only one that is stopping us from using this plugin. I would like to request this compatibility as well, it would be much appreciated by many sites.

    Hello,

    I was looking for an option to strip WPBakery shortcode from content. I was creating a blog post feed with excerpts and the shortcode just kept popping up.
    I solved it for now using search & replace and the following regular expression:

    $post_excerpt = preg_replace('/\[.*?\]/','', get_the_excerpt());

    Hope it helps.

    John
