Hi Guys,
is there any way to stop the shortcode text from appearing in my product feed (it’s for for Google Shopping) when using the Short Description box?

I use the product short description with this shortcode – [x_alert type=”success”]My description here.[/x_alert].

The shortcode appears in Visual mode as well as Edit mode, which doesn’t happen with other text enhancements, so I’m not too hopeful, but thought I’d ask anyway.

Thank you.

Hi Philip,

Please add the following code under functions.php file locates in your child theme:

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'x_custom_feed');
add_filter('the_content', 'x_custom_feed');
function x_custom_feed( $content ) {
	global $post;

	if ( ! is_feed() )
		return $content;

	// Remove all shortcodes
	$content = strip_shortcodes( $post->post_content );
	return $content;
}

Hope it helps 🙂

Hello Thai,
thanks for the quick response.
I added that and regenerated the feed, but unfortunately the shortcode text is still showing as before.

My products are added as products with WooCommerce, not posts, is it something to do with that?

Thanks again,
Philip.

Hey Philip,

Sorry for the confusion. This requires filtering of the WooCommerce short description content. Regretfully, this would need custom development which regretfully falls outside the scope of our support. You might want to contact our trusted partners who caters X setup and customization needs. Please see https://community.theme.co/custom-development/. This article might also help.

Thank you for understanding.

Hi,
just thinking, if I could change the background colour of the Product Short Description box on the front end, that would be nearly the same as what I’m doing with the shortcode. Then I could remove the shortcode.
Is that something I could with some CSS?
I know it would apply to every product on the site then, but that’s no problem.
Thanks again,
Philip.

Hello There,

To resolve your issue and change the background color of the product short description box, please add the following css code in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS

div[itemprop="description"] {
    padding: 15px;
    background-color: #e5e5e5;
}

div[itemprop="description"] p{
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

Hope this helps.

Hi Rue Nel,
that’s great, it did the trick. I wish I had thought of it sooner, would have saved me loads of work 🙂
Thank you and best regards,
Philip.
