Title: Shortcode on posts Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Shortcode on posts * Resolved [Manas Mitra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manas666/) * (@manas666) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/) * Congratulation developer dinamico on creating such an excellent plugin. I have a little query. I have a couple of short codes on my post pages. One is to protect the content for a membership reason (membership 2 plugin) & a _Back_ button ( zilla short codes plugin). The PDF is created along with the output of above mentioned shortcodes. Is it any way possible to remove shortcodes’ outputs from the resulting PDF? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/dk-pdf/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dk-pdf/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/page/2/?output_format=md) * [amazigh toto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amenzoweb/) * (@amenzoweb) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720858) * [dkpdf-button] i found it in plugin website 🙂 * Enjoy * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720883) * Hi manas666, * I’m going to install membership 2 plugin in my local dev and I’m going to try to reproduce the problem, once I get more info about this, I’m going to reply here. * Best. * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720884) * Hi manas666, just some doubts: * do you need just removing the shortcodes? for example not showing a button (generated by a shortcode) in the pdf? * in the case of membership 2 plugin, the private/protected content is showing in the pdf? or you just need to remove some kind of message like ‘you are viewing private content….’. * thanks. * [sjo007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sjo007/) * (@sjo007) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720897) * Hi, * I have the same problem with the dkpdf button shortcode displaying on the pdf form. I am using Membership 2 Pro but there is no printing errors relating to this that I am aware of on pdf form. It is just the dkpdf shortcode that keeps appearing. * How do I stop this showing on the pdf form please ? Great plugin though for which many thanks indeed ! * Best wishes * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720898) * Hi sjo007, * Ok I’m going to look at this, it’s strange because DK PDF has a function for not showing the pdf button in the generated PDF, also there is a solved ticket related to this for when you’re adding the button manually via [dkpdf-button] shortcode: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-print-button-from-pdf](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-print-button-from-pdf) * I need some info: – this happens only with Membership 2 Pro content/pages? or with all your content (normal pages, posts…)? – can you guide me a little about the steps to reproduce this problem? * Thanks in advance. * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720920) * Hi there, * In version 1.3 I added a shortcode for removing pieces of content in the generated PDF: [http://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/doc/dkpdf-remove-shortcode/](http://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/doc/dkpdf-remove-shortcode/) * Best. * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720933) * Also in version 1.4 you can add page breaks using dkpdf-pagebreak shortcode: [http://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/doc/dkpdf-pagebreak/](http://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/doc/dkpdf-pagebreak/) * Thread Starter [Manas Mitra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manas666/) * (@manas666) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720934) * Hi dinamiko, * The [dkpdf-remove] shortcode solves the problem of removing contents from the output PDF files, but it creates another problem which is more alarming. This shortcode renders other shortcodes useless. * To protect a content using membership 2 plugin, the content must be within the following shortcodes: `[ms-protect-content id="634"]` & `[/ms-protect-content id="634"]` where `634` is the code generated by the membership 2 plugin. These shortcodes creates visible notification in screen as well as PDF output. Screen notification is removed using CSS. But when I use dkpdf-remove shortcode as following:`[ dkpdf-remove][ms-protect-content id="634"][/dkpdf-remove]`, the membership 2 shortcode becomes visible and it’s functionality also ceases. Any idea how to solve it? * — Manas * Plugin Author [dinamiko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinamiko/) * (@dinamiko) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720935) * Hi Manas Mitra, * I didn’t test DK PDF with Membership 2 Pro yet. before I start to test it, please ensure that you’re closing the Membership 2 Pro shortcode, in your example you are not closing it: * > [dkpdf-remove][ms-protect-content id=”634″][/dkpdf-remove] * this has to be: * > [dkpdf-remove][ms-protect-content id=”634″]content here[/ms-protect-content > id=”634″][/dkpdf-remove] * if doing this way is not working, then I’m going to install Membership 2 Pro and do testing. * tell me something about it, thanks. * Best. * Thread Starter [Manas Mitra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manas666/) * (@manas666) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-posts/#post-6720942) * Hi dinamiko, * Thanks for your reply. I got busy in other projects, so couldn’t reply. I shall try the way you have shown. I am using the free version of Membership 2 plugin not the pro one.
