Are you referring to the CleanSave short code? If so these should have been replaced with the button(s).
Cleansave is installed with “Post” only.
Please see this link:

Click the “PDF” button (upper right).
All images from the two short-codes (at bottom of post) are shown in the PDF review page.
Is there ANY way to exclude images generated from short-codes within the posts?
They are ways to markup the HTML such that CleanSave will exclude those elements from its output by adding a class name The image HTML generated from short codes cannot be tagged without edited that plug-in.
Apologies, but I’m ignorant on classes and the concepts of use.
I like the elegant solution you created, but it is impractical for use on ANY post with short-codes.
This appears to be a common problem that severely affects use.
Is it possible, on the initial parse of the page, to recognize short-codes (by the brackets) – and exclude their results/affects from the rendering engine?
And if that isn’t feasible, provide in your download, in the setup/configuration, the instructions to add your suggested class that would make these exceptions?
Or, in the app, allow the user to enter a listing of short-codes to be excluded from the rendering engine?
WordPress’ short codes are a convenience mechanism converting simple square bracket-based text into far more complex HTML that a web browser (and CleanSave) processes. The only way to accomplish what you’ve proposed is to edit the associated plugin changing the transformation process.
Not a job for anyone other than a HTML/WordPress developer.
Explanations are fine. But this is a situation that either needs a solution, or a declaration that it can’t be done.
YOU must remove the short code.
