Overview

This WordPress plugin is designed to enhance the user experience by preventing unhandled or incorrectly defined shortcodes from displaying unsightly or potentially sensitive code on your site. When a shortcode is either deactivated or contains errors, rather than displaying the raw shortcode, this plugin ensures that either nothing is shown in its place or the enclosed content remains visible without the shortcode tags. This helps maintain a clean and professional appearance for your site. Additionally, the plugin provides hooks for developers to customize the behavior, including the `hide_broken_shortcode` hook for defining what appears when a broken shortcode is encountered, and the `hide_broken_shortcodes_filters` for managing text filters to detect potential shortcode errors. Comprehensive developer documentation is available to guide further customizations.

Prevents Unhandled Shortcodes from Appearing

  • Ensures that unprocessed shortcodes do not appear on the site.
  • Improves the visual appeal by removing unsightly code-like text.
  • Enhances security by preventing potential exposure of sensitive information.

Handles Self-Closing Shortcodes Gracefully

  • Removes the shortcode tag and its attributes from the content.
  • Displays nothing in place of the unhandled self-closing shortcode.

Manages Enclosing Shortcodes Effectively

  • Displays the enclosed text or markup without showing the shortcode tags.
  • Ensures that the content remains readable and visually appealing.

Customizable via Hooks

  • Provides hooks to customize the display of broken shortcodes.
  • Allows developers to define custom filters to detect potential broken shortcodes.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate that this WordPress plugin is reliable and performs its intended function effectively. They value its simplicity and straightforwardness, as it removes raw shortcodes from displaying. Many users find it useful and commend the developer for a job well done. However, several users have experienced issues with the shortcode appearing in posts and pages instead of rendering properly. These users suggest improvements in documentation, especially for troubleshooting and beginner guidance. Despite its strengths, the plugin lacks comprehensive support or detailed instructions, which could enhance user experience and reduce confusion.
