Visual Composer Shortcodes in Search Results

Any chance to get help? I guess it’s not a big deal to adapt this code for Better Search?

add_filter('relevanssi_pre_excerpt_content', 'rlv_trim_vc_shortcodes');
function rlv_trim_vc_shortcodes($content) {
    $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?vc.*?\]/', '', $content);
    $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?mk.*?\]/', '', $content);
    return $content;
}

You can use bsearch_content instead of the relevanssi filter if you’re using seamless mode or get_bsearch_excerpt if you’re not using seamless mode.

Hello,

Can you please specify the exact code to add to the theme’s functions.php to filter out the Visual Composer shortcodes?

We have seemless mode turned off.

Thanks!

add_filter('get_bsearch_excerpt', 'rlv_trim_vc_shortcodes');
function rlv_trim_vc_shortcodes($content) {
    $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?vc.*?\]/', '', $content);
    $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?mk.*?\]/', '', $content);
    return $content;
}

Can you try this ?

That works perfectly. Thank you!

Thanks. That is great to know. One for my FAQ!

wow that works just perfect!! thanks a lot for your help! =)

thanks, this helped me aswell.

Its not working for me. I tried almost all tutorials i found on this. my search results its showing this:

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17107″ img_size=”718×500″ alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][vc_column_text] Local Stone Fabricator Shop [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Courtesy – Shutterstock [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17106″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][vc_column_text] Local Wood Fabricator Shop [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Right now i have this code in function.php

add_filter('relevanssi_pre_excerpt_content', 'rlv_trim_vc_shortcodes');
function rlv_trim_vc_shortcodes($content) {
    $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?vc.*?\]/', '', $content);
    $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?mk.*?\]/', '', $content);
    return $content;
}

This shortcodes stop showing if i turn off this feature in relevanssi -> Custom excerpts/snippets

Visual studio -> Version 5.1.1

Am i doing anything wrong ?

@sahilmoldharia is this question for Better Search or Relevanssi? If it’s Better Search you’ll need to code above

@ajay its for relevanssi.

@sahilmoldharia You’ll need to post this in the relevanssi forum as they would be better placed to answer. It’s not a plugin I’m familiar with.
