shortcodes display outside content WordPress
Am I crazy, or isn't it true that you should not see the shortcode displayed when you get a search or archive page? What am I doing wrong or is it the theme I'm using?

Pau answers:
By default, shortcode will not be rendered on excerp, so to enable it simply add this code in your functions.php
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

I don't want the shortcode to show in the exerpts. Just the content inside the shortcode.
Giri answers:
Yes you should enable excerpt shortcode by adding this line of code in your functions.php file.
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');
But please note, by default the_excerpt displays only the first 55 words. So if you have a shortcode that contains more than 55 words, it may not work..
In your screenshot shortcodes does not have full codes.

So I highly recommend either increase your excerpt words length or add your shortcodes after 55 words.
If you wanna increase excerpt length use this function in your functions.php file.
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 100;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
Eric P. answers:
Shortcodes in the excerpt don't get processed. You can add that do_shortcodes to the excerpt as other have suggested.
Or, you might want to use the full content (up through the <!--more--> tag) on your archive pages. What theme are you using. If it's an older theme, look for "the_excerpt" in the archives.php page. If it's newer, and it uses the "get_template_part()" function to put content in the archive, then look in the appropriate template parts.
If you'd rather have full content in the archive pages change "the_excerpt" to "the_content" in the archive.php or in the template files.
If you want to do this in a way that your changes won't be wiped out by an update to the theme, consider using a child theme. That's relatively easy. If you want more info on how, let me know.

Hello,
Can you please show me the code that used in search.php and archive.php
shezallthat comments:
Thanks for your responses. I have tried the code suggested in the functions.php= No Change.
as requested here is the search.php code:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php
/* Run the loop for the search to output the results.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-search.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'loop', 'search' );
?>
<?php else : ?>
<div id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
<h2 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'rhapsody' ); ?></h2>
<div class="entry-content">
<p class="alignleft"><br/><?php _e( 'Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.', 'freshIdeas' ); ?></p>
<div class="alignleft"><?php get_search_form();?> </div>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
</div><!-- #post-0 -->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And the archive.php
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
Hello,
Do you have a page named "loop-search.php" in your theme folder? Please provide the code if you have.
shezallthat comments:
I have loop.php,loop-single.php and loop-page.php in the theme files. Would any of those work?
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
Are you using child theme in your wordpress? If so, check "loop-search.php" in child theme. Otherwise provide me loop.php

I am having trouble with my child theme, so it's still in development. Here is the code in loop.php Thanks!

Hello,
Sorry for the delay, following section creates problem
$aux=strip_tags(get_the_content());
if(strlen($aux)>400){
echo'<p>' ;
echo substr($aux, 0, 400);
$link=$post->guid;
echo '...</p><div><a class="button highlight small" href="'.$link.'">Permalink</a></div><br/>';
}else{
echo'<p>' ;
echo $aux;
echo '<p/><br/><br/>';
} }
else{
$aux=strip_tags(get_the_content());
echo '<p>'.$aux.'</p>';}
Do the following changes,
1. Limit content using wordpress <!--more--> tag.
2. Use the following code
<?php global $more; $more = FALSE; ?>
<?php the_content(''); ?>
Instead of
$aux=strip_tags(get_the_content());
if(strlen($aux)>400){
echo'<p>' ;
echo substr($aux, 0, 400);
$link=$post->guid;
echo '...</p><div><a class="button highlight small" href="'.$link.'">Permalink</a></div><br/>';
}else{
echo'<p>' ;
echo $aux;
echo '<p/><br/><br/>';
} }
else{
$aux=strip_tags(get_the_content());
echo '<p>'.$aux.'</p>';}
Good Luck...

Hi, I probably put it in wrong, but you did say replace the code? I don't know PHP. What should the end result look like?
This is the result:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/jbradmn/public_html/wp-content/themes/rhapsody/loop.php on line 101

It's much better, we're getting so close!! Except, the results show the entire page, and if it's a full width page with images, the content leeks over into the sidebar. Can you alter this to just show an excerpt, or would I have to put "read more" on every wide page with images?
