Hi there,

Sorry to see you go! Unfortunately, there’s no function for removing the shortcodes from the content on uninstall. My plugin cleans up after itself as much as possible, by removing the shortcode and any options it created in the database, but since every actual code is different, there’s no way (that I know of) to remove them. Though this is an interesting feature request, and I am going to have to look into how I might make that happen.

There is a strip_shortcodes() function, but that removes ALL shortcodes, not just BCTT shortcodes.

My best recommendation would be to first make a backup of your database that you know how to restore from, and then use this plugin to do a search-and-replace for all bctt shortcodes More instructions on that below.

If you do not create a backup that you know how to restore from, the next steps could irreparably damage your entire site, so please do that first.

1. Install this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search-regex/
2. Navigate to Tools –> Search Regex
3. Place this in the “search pattern” box: /\[[^\[]*bctt[^\]]*\]/
4. check the “case insensitive” box
5. click Replace.

If it finds the correct text, and everything looks good, repeat the process but click “Replace and Save.”

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the kind words.

That switching to your WP username is likely a password manager or other browser extension trying to be “helpful” and fill out that field for you. I am unable to replicate that on my end, using LastPass on Chrome. I’m going to look into why that might be happening, and see if there’s something I could change to make that perform better, because that’s annoying.

Also, regarding the “prompt” attribute: I try really hard to limit the number of options I visibly give users, because for the vast majority of users, it’s a nuisance. You can read more about that here: https://benlikes.us/7r

That said, it would be cool to add the option to add more visible options. Maybe that’s my next add-on!

Yes, the quotes don’t work inside the tweet parameter. You can use their html entity codes, though.

I just released a patch for this issue. version 5.0.2 should run peaceably alongside Yoast. Sorry for the troubles there.

Hi There. I’m the developer for Better Click To Tweet, one of the plugins that was causing a problem with the way I called the internationalization module. I just released version 5.0.2 which fixes that.

Thanks so much, Lech!

I really appreciate it. Don’t miss the power user guide here: https://benlikes.us/7r

Have a great day!

Hey Panagiotis,

This is fixed in 5.0.1

Cheers!

Hi Verona,

Thanks for reaching out. What are you putting into the shortcode on the back end? It looks like the text is being stripped out, which could be caused by a few things (like having html code in it, or using quotation marks within the tweet text, for example)

Also, it would be helpful to know what version of PHP your site is running. You can use the plugin here to check that. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/server-info/

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up there. I will release a patch soon that has that string translatable.
