Hide Shortcodes From WordPress RSS Feed

1 comment

1. You will need to alter how the RSS is output.

   All the RSS styling files are located in the wp-includes folder and are titled as follows:

   • feed-rss2.php
   • feed-rss.php
   • feed-rdf.php
   • feed-atom.php
   • feed-atom-comments.php
   • feed-rss2-comments.php

   Then within these files, you need to find where it calls the function the_excerpt_rss(). This calls out the content in excerpt format.

   You will need to enclose this in a function called strip_shortcodes().

   As an example from feed-atom.php line 70:

   <summary type="<?php html_type_rss(); ?>"><![CDATA[<?php strip_shortcodes(the_excerpt_rss()); ?>]]></summary>
   

   Hope this helps
