Video Issue

[rsharpe75]

Hi,

I am no using a video service on my site but instead I am using self-hosted videos. To display the videos I am using the Flowplayer plugin. The plugin uses shortcodes to place the video on the page, similar to this: [flowplayer id=”88″]

My issue is that the actual shortcode string is being shown in the excerpt on the main page instead of the relevant text. How do I stop the shortcode showing?

Regards

Hi Johnny,

That didn’t work, do you think strip_shortcodes would work instead?

[rsharpe75]

strip_shortcodes didn’t work either. I’d really like a solution to this issue because leaving exposed shortcodes on the page is not an option for me.

Could you tell me your website link? If possible, you can post your link and wp login details with private reply.
I want to check your site first in order to make sure my understand is correct or not.

Hi

I checked your site, or you can try the following code

echo  do_shortcode(get_the_excerpt());

Let me know the result. If it still can’t solve the issue, hope you can tell me your wp login details, I will change the code with theme editor.

Thanks

Oh.. finally I understand your mean.

You can set the excerpt text separately, just put your own excerpt text into “Excerpt” field which is below the editor.
Just check the latest post, I have fixed it.

Thanks

So there is no way to use automatic excerpt? If there is a way to fix this for automatic excerpt it would be the most preferred approach for me.

It’s already automatic excerpt now, but like your issue, the automatic excerpt can’t detect and remove the shortcode, so then you must set it separately.

Hi

Because the excerpt content doesn’t support shortcode by default, so you need to edit the posts-grid.php, find the following code about at line 27

the_excerpt();

Change to

echo  do_shortcode(the_excerpt());

Thanks
