Hi jennyenr!

I think it’s better to use preg_replace function here! Here you can not only limit the number of matches but you spare the loop over the array, too. The code could look like this:

function add_wikitips($content) {
        if( is_single() && is_main_query() ) {
                $patterns = array( 'ice cream', 'sugar', 'cola' );
                $replacements = array( '[wiki]ice cream[/wiki]', '[wiki]sugar[/wiki]', '[wiki]cola[/wiki]' );
                $content = preg_replace( $patterns, $replacements, $content, 1 );
        }
        return $content;
}

Finally, I like the idea behind. I will think about a new feature of my plugin ??

Have fun!

Hi salam,

I think this issue is a duplicate of https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/shortcode-excerpt/

As you will see there it is a standard behavior of WordPress that shortcodes are removed in excerpts. So, the plugin has no chance to display the tooltips. And has no chance to manipulate this behavior, too!

Thank you for this great idea(s)! I try to invest some time for it asap ??

Thanks for the new info! I reviewed the code of WP core and found the reason of your problem! In https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/tags/5.3/src/wp-includes/shortcodes.php#L260 you can see that all content between the shortcode tags is removed, too!

So, I will try to find a special option setting to steer the behavior in ecxerpt! But until this I will close this thread…

I just published a new version with a minor update to fix this issue ??

OK, I will wait for answers to your posts at Stackoverflow an Github!

Are you able to modify my plugin on your server?

If yes please look for the file class.wp-wiki-tooltip.php and add this line of code at line 18: add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode' );

Please tell me if this leads to the right result!

What do you mean with “gutenberg menu in the editor”? Do you mean an own Gutenberg block?

It’s a pitty that it doesn’t work!

I will hold my eyes open to perhaps see a solution later…

I made this small setup that works with 2020 really fine:

1) I created a post with a shortcode within the first 100 characters.

2) I created a page where I used the “Latest Posts”-Gutenberg Block with option “show excerpt” enabled.

3) If I visited this page online everything looks good!

All this is done with 2020! So, I do not see the problem :/

Ok, I just tested this scenario in my local deveopment setup once with “Twenty Twenty” and once with “Blocksy”. I found out that your problem is caused by the theme!

In “Twenty Twenty” everything work fine. All shortcodes are displayed even in excerpts pretty well. But if I switched to Blocksy the shortcodes were filtered out! And if I used the extra excerpt-field of a post that the shortcode was printed out as plain-text (the [] are shown).

So, my plugin has no chance to steer the behavior of the theme! I think the only solution is override the get_excerpt-function of the theme…

I am not sure if this is not a bug of the plugin but a standard behavior of WordPress. I will figure out and coming back soon!

Thank you for this hint ?? I will try to fix this asap!

I thank you very much!

Thank you belzemut for this great idea!

I have to check, how to put such an option into my plugin, but I will invest some time for it ??
