Title: Visual COmposer Code included in description Last modified: November 23, 2022 --- # Visual COmposer Code included in description * Resolved [mikycoud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikycoud/) * (@mikycoud) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-code-included-in-description/) * Hi, Great little plugin you’ve got there, and I just tried the free version to see whether it would be suitable for a client with thousands of products. Before I buy th epremium version though, could you tell me whether there’s a way to fix th eissue I’m having. right now, the description feed included all the code generated form Visual Composer extension. See here for instance: [https://spa-institut-nymphea.fr/wp-content/uploads/wppfm-feeds/GMC-Website-Flux.xml](https://spa-institut-nymphea.fr/wp-content/uploads/wppfm-feeds/GMC-Website-Flux.xml) * As a result, the Google descrition includes this gibberish in its product description. Is there a way to remove this when generating the feed? NB: i’m not talking about plain HTML code, but Visual Composer code (or any other visual editor for that matter) * Thanx for letting me know * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fvisual-composer-code-included-in-description%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Contributor [Michel Jongbloed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michel-jongbloed/) * (@michel-jongbloed) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-code-included-in-description/#post-16257496) * Hi [@mikycoud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikycoud/), * Sorry for our late response, but thanks for the great question. * I had not seen this code before, but it can be removed using this short code snippet: * ``` function wppfm_strip_short_codes( $attributes, $feed_id, $product_id ) { $attributes['description'] = strip_shortcodes( $attributes['description'] ); // IMPORTANT! Always return the $attributes return $attributes; } add_filter( 'wppfm_feed_item_value', 'wppfm_strip_short_codes', 10, 3 ); ``` * Let me know if you don’t know how to use this code snippet. * If it works correctly I could even implement it in our plugin by default. * Plugin Contributor [Michel Jongbloed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michel-jongbloed/) * (@michel-jongbloed) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-code-included-in-description/#post-16286084) * Hi [@mikycoud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikycoud/), * Where you able to solve the issue with the code snippet?

Just tried the code you suggested, but it doesn’t work for me. Shortcodes are still there. * Plugin Contributor [Michel Jongbloed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michel-jongbloed/) * (@michel-jongbloed) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-code-included-in-description/#post-16287646) * Hi [@finomeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finomeno/), * Could you send me a link to your feed so I can have a look what your short codes look like in the feed? * Plugin Author [aukemarketing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aukejomm/) * (@aukejomm) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-code-included-in-description/#post-16287965) * Hey [@finomeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finomeno/), * The following snippet should remove Visual Composer markup * ``` function wppfm_clean_description( $attributes, $feed_id, $product_id ) { $attributes['description'] = preg_replace("/\[(\/*)?vc_(.*?)\]/", '', $attributes['description'] ); // IMPORTANT! Always return the $attributes return $attributes; } add_filter( 'wppfm_feed_item_value', 'wppfm_clean_description', 10, 3 ); ``` * Could you test that? * Plugin Contributor [Michel Jongbloed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michel-jongbloed/) * (@michel-jongbloed) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-code-included-in-description/#post-16490145) * Hi [@finomeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finomeno/), * Where you able to solve the issue using the snippet [@aukejomm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aukejomm/) send to you? * Plugin Contributor [Michel Jongbloed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michel-jongbloed/) * (@michel-jongbloed) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-code-included-in-description/#post-16557535) * Hello [@finomeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finomeno/), * I hope we were successful in helping you resolve your issue with our Feed Manager plugin!
