How to clean up pullquote shortcodes from old version

    Hi, I have a very old version (1.6) of your plugin which included pull quotes. I tried to upgrade, then had to roll back because the newer versions do not include pullquote shortcodes and left hundreds of posts with orphaned code.

    Is there any way to clean up the shortcodes and pull quote text without going through hundreds of posts manually?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julius,
    try to paste the following code in a site-specific plugin or your theme’s functions.php file:
    add_shortcode( 'shortcodetag', '__return_false' );
    Replace shortcodetag with the pull quote shortcode tag.
    Basically the code above will add the shortcode and make it show nothing.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. A few questions:

    Will this still work if at some point I remove the plugin?
    Where can I locate the name of the shortcode?
    When you say it will show nothing, will it also remove the enclosed text? Ideally that’s what I would want, so as not to have duplicate undformatted text.

    Many thanks again for your help
