Title: Remove comments Last modified: March 11, 2018 --- # Remove comments * Resolved [bjp232004](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bjp232004/) * (@bjp232004) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-27/) * Hi, * Thank you for a very useful plugin! * I have used this plugin for more than 30 sites. For all sites, I am facing one issue while using shortcodes. When I am using a shortcode to store some social networking URL and while using those shortcodes in anchor tag facing issue because of comments which you have added while returning a result. * So, just wanted to check with you that, can you remove that comments from return result line. * Current Output: return ‘’ . do_shortcode( $sc_content_final).‘ ’; * Expected Output: return do_shortcode( $sc_content_final ); * Thanks in advance! - This topic was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by [bjp232004](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bjp232004/).

As of now you can edit code and remove them. * I can add option in future release to make it optional. * [James Anderson Jr.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesandersonjr/) * (@jamesandersonjr) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-27/#post-10299881) * +1 * Those automatic comments cause problems when you want to enter raw text into a property of an html tag like an anchor tag. For example: * `` * That link above is totally malformed! There should be a way to turn off these HTML comments globally with a check button on the settings page, in all future versions of Shortcoder. * For now though, I had to do some plugin surgery to remove those annoying comment tags!! This should NOT be necessary! 🙁 * Sorry for the exclamation points, but this is especially irritating. * Plugin Author [vaakash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaakash/) * (@vaakash) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-27/#post-10300615) * [@jamesandersonjr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesandersonjr/), * I guess you can make use of “custom parameters” to solve your use case here. * In your shortcode content, you can use * `` * and use the shortcode as * `[sc name="mylink" url="https://www.google.com"]` * I’ll also consider removing the tags as many people consider it.

I just want to use Shortcoder to store repetitive data that _may_ one day change (e.g. a ‘click-to-dial’ telephone number, or postal address, or a URL), and when that day comes, I would like to change it in only _one_ place, to populate everywhere that short-code is. As this plugin is, that functionality is being ruined by those pesky comment tags! * Example Code: * ``` 1-555-555-5555 ``` * Can you spot the issue with this anchor tag?? Will this number actually be callable, even while using the ‘tel:’ link-type? * [jumbo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumbo/) * (@jumbo) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-27/#post-10653310) * While I can appreciate the purpose of debugging, I too would like to see these start/end comments removed. * Perhaps, as you say, have an option to remove them. Or perhaps show them if the following constants are set to TRUE in ‘wp-config.php’: * ``` define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true); ``` * If possible, I try to avoid updating a plugin’s core files directly, as the changes will just be overwritten when the plugin is next updated. * Thanks. - This reply was modified 7 years, 9 months ago by [jumbo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumbo/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 9 months ago by [jumbo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumbo/). * Plugin Author [vaakash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaakash/) * (@vaakash) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-27/#post-10656230) * [@jumbo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jumbo/) Thanks for the suggestion!! * [Branislav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/branislav/) * (@branislav) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-27/#post-10663777) * Here’s another vote for the option to remove the comments.
