Hide Broken Shortcodes

FAQ

Why am I still seeing a broken shortcode even with this plugin activated?

By default, the plugin only tries to hide broken shortcodes appearing in post/page content, post/page excerpts, and widgets. It does not hide broken shortcodes that may appear in post/page titles, custom fields, menus, comments, etc.

How can I type out a shortcode in a post so that it doesn’t get processed by WordPress or hidden by this plugin?

If you want want a shortcode to appear as-is in a post (for example, you are trying to provide an example of how to use a shortcode), can use the shortcode escaping syntax, which is built into WordPress, by using two opening brackets to start the shortcode, and two closing brackets to close the shortcode:

• [[some_shortcode]]
• [[an_example style="yes"]some text[/an_example]]

The shortcodes will appear in your post (but without the double brackets).

How can I prevent certain broken shortcodes from being hidden?

Assuming you want to allow the broken shortcodes ‘abc’ and ‘gallery’ to be ignored by this plugin (and therefore not hidden if broken), you can include the following in your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

/**
 * Permit certain shortcodes to appear as broken without being hidden.
 *
 * @param string $display        The text to display in place of the broken shortcode.
 * @param string $shortcode_name The name of the shortcode.
 * @param array  $m              The regex match array for the shortcode.
 * @return string
 */
function allowed_broken_shortcodes( $display, $shortcode_name, $m ) {
    $shortcodes_not_to_hide = array( 'abc', 'gallery' );
    if ( in_array( $shortcode_name, $shortcodes_not_to_hide ) ) {
        $display = $m[0];
    }
    return $display;
}
add_filter( 'hide_broken_shortcode', 'allowed_broken_shortcodes', 10, 3 );
