Thank you I have emailed you.
So here’s the rundown of my experience with these guys.
My request : add missing ability to strip shortcodes.
There are 2 000 000+ installs of WPBakery Page builder ( previously called Visual Composer) and on everyone of those sites this plugin would be Broken not to mention all the other WordPress installs where people are using short-codes. So in my opinion I reported a bug.
They wanted me to pay to have their coders develop this option, which I thought was wrong. It would improve their plugin for all so why should I be the one to pay for that.
I decided not too and will investigate other options. They seemed a bit mickey mouse to me for what I believe is a large company. No ill feelings, just didn’t gel with such a business model, each to their own.
Thanks for sharing your experience derrickmg.
At the moment, this functionality is the only one that is stopping us from using this plugin. I would like to request this compatibility as well, it would be much appreciated by many sites.
Hello,
I was looking for an option to strip WPBakery shortcode from content. I was creating a blog post feed with excerpts and the shortcode just kept popping up.
I solved it for now using search & replace and the following regular expression:
$post_excerpt = preg_replace('/\[.*?\]/','', get_the_excerpt());
Hope it helps.
John
