 * Anyone know how to strip the caption shortcode from the_content_rss output? HTML
   markup for the img itself gets stripped, but the caption shortcode remains…
 * I have tried strip_shortcode, remove_shortcode, remove_all_shortcode but to no
   avail.

 * I am also in need for a solution to this problem. I have an XML-file a partner
   needs to use, but I can’t seem to get rid of the [caption]-part of posts with
   images in them.
 * Does this require some preg_replace or something? If so, can anyone point me 
   in the direction of a solution?

 * this was posted somewhere else:
 * add to the feed.php file
 * $content = apply_filters(‘the_content_rss’, $content); /* already was there, 
   here is for navigation. it’s near 164 line */
    $content = preg_replace(“/\[caption.*\[\/
   caption\]/”, ”, $content); /* string itself */ if ( $cut && !$encode_html ) /*
   next line, for navigation too */

 * I’m having the same problem. And I’d like to try the code given above too, but
   only thing is I can’t find a feed.php. Help anyone?

 * @craybradfield Thanks for the Regex solution you posted it works a treat.
 * I had to use the Regex after I found the the WP Codex function strip_shortcodes
   function leaves the closing shortcode tag for some unknown reason [/caption]
 * Has anyone else come across this and perhaps have a theory as why this is happening?

 * [@kestrel_id](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kestrel_id/): I confirmed this,
   I have to do a str_replace(“[/caption]“, ”, $content) to get rid of this. This
   could be a bug. Can someone confirm?
