 * I use Visual composer on my post and when no except is specifically added to 
   the post SNAP is pulling the the beginning of the post along with the visual 
   Composer shortcode as part of the excerpt. How can I keep the shortcode from 
   showing when a specific excerpt is not added to the post?

 * THis happens only if your post is not being processed. Please make sure that “
   My Content Filters (apply_filters(‘the_content’) are broken, don’t use them” 
   checkbox is NOT checked. and you use tags that do post processed text.

 * The post did process and get posted to social media platform but with the shortcode.
   In the debug settings section I **don’t** have the box labeled **My Content Filters(
   apply_filters(‘the_content’) are broken, don’t use them .** checked
 * My message text format is the following:
    (%TITLE%) has been published on %SITENAME%––%
   EXCERPT% – %SURL%
