php remove wordpress shortcodes

To remove WordPress shortcodes from a PHP file, you can use the strip_shortcodes function. Here's an example of how to do this:

$content = get_the_content(); 
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
$excerpt = strip_shortcodes($content);
echo $excerpt;

In this example: 1. We first get the content using get_the_content function. 2. Then we apply the content filter using apply_filters function. 3. Afterwards, we replace any occurrences of ']]>' with ']]>' to ensure the HTML is properly escaped. 4. Finally, we use the strip_shortcodes function to remove the shortcodes from the content, and then echo the modified content.

This will effectively remove the WordPress shortcodes from the PHP file.
