Done =)

Thanks again!

Sorry for the late answer, I did not have Internet access anymore.

Yes, the second code proposition actually does the trick (except that the resulting content is not wrapped in <p> tags, but that’s actually beneficial to my design). Thanks a lot!

Is there any way to “close” this topic (like adding a [solved] tag) ?

I think my problem wasn’t understood. My bad for not having been clear enough.

I don’t want the shortcodes to be activated in the excerpts. I want the shortcodes to be hidden, but keep the text content between them (as my shortcodes are like opening and closing tags).

By default, WordPress deletes all content inside the [shortcode]content[/shortcode] tags when using the strip_shortcodes() function (which I assume is used when displaying the_excerpt()).

I guess the best solution would be a custom excerpt function using a regexp (that strips all “[*]” and “[/*]” expressions), but I’m not familiar with this.

Thanks for your answers!

This solution does not strip the shortcode tags. It displays the first 55 characters of the whole content (the shortcodes being displayed as text).

Apparently, remove_shortcode() only deletes the hook, ie. the shortcode text is displayed, but does not activate the function.

Kind of similar problem, if adding a shortcode inside these shortcodes tags, the inner shortcode won’t trigger the shortcode activation.

For instance,

[one-half][youtube=https://www.youtube.com?watch=xxxxxx][/one-half]

will display the text “[youtube=https://www.youtube.com?watch=xxxxxx]” in the html column.

Yup. It gives the same result. All content between opening and closing tags [shortcode]content[/shortcode] is deleted…
