Hi Farinspace,

I am contacting you on behalf of Sherry Gritch, who purchased the plugin. We are using your Nooz plugin for the press releases on our site. We noticed that when we have a placed image with a caption at the beginning of a press release, the ‘caption code’ shows in the 3-line text preview on the Press Releases main feed page.

For example, on the post for June 24th, it shows “[caption id="attachment_20392" align="alignright" width="500"]” in the text.

Is there a way to hide this code in the main feed page?

Thanks in advance.

@gregsgraphics, for reference, your client is likely using the FREE version of the plugin as we do not yet sell a PRO version, with that said this is all complimentary support.

What you have identified seems to be a bug/glitch. I will try to resolved this through a new version update.

However in the mean time you can resolve the problem as follows:

1. This is the easiest way to resolve the issue on a post by post basis: By using the “Excerpt” field you can specify a custom excerpt per post, any shortcodes will not be used when using a custom excerpt.

2. This option requires a bit of code, but will apply to all press releases, place the following in your themes “functions.php”:
```
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', function( $post_excerpt, $post ) {
	if ( 'nooz_release' == $post->post_type ) $post_excerpt = strip_shortcodes( $post_excerpt );
	return $post_excerpt;
}, 11, 2 );
```
I would recommend using option #2. Once I am able to update the plugin, the above code will not interfere in any way.

If you are using an older version php, less than 5.3, you may need to try the following code instead:
```
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'my_nooz_release_excerpt', 11, 2 );
function my_nooz_release_excerpt( $post_excerpt, $post ) {
	if ( 'nooz_release' == $post->post_type ) $post_excerpt = strip_shortcodes( $post_excerpt );
	return $post_excerpt;
}
```

Hi farinspace, thanks for getting back to us so quickly.

Putting in a “custom excerpt” in the individual posts where the caption code was showing seems to have fixed the issue. We’ll have to check it in different browsers. It takes the page a few minutes to update (and I usually clear out the page cache as well), but that may be a browser/plugin/host thing.

We’ll let you know if we need anything else. Thanks again!
