I want to produce emails that contain the latest x number of posts. I've figured out how to do that.

The problem is that I have some shortcodes on my posts for the display of videos and PDFs which I don't want to show in the emails. Is there a way to filter out the codes so they don't appear? I can turn them on, but then I get videos and PDFs I don't want to place inside the emails.

IU am afraid that there is no way to filter out shortcodes in the articles. We have added a feature to replace short codes with the real content, but we don't have a feature where you could remove shortcodes automatically

Well, that's unfortunate because I bought this plugin to replace another one that had this feature (it simply ignored them and didn't display the code itself) but was unreliable. I guess the only way I can work around this if I continue to use your plugin is to create a second copy of each post I want to have appear in the email and note it as a category of EMAIL.

Let me STRONGLY encourage/beg/plead that a switch be added in a soon-to-be-released version that turns on/off the ability to filter out shortcodes. Seems a pretty easy feature to add.

Upon further thought, creating a second post with a special category creates the problem that people are taken to that simplified post and not the post I want them to go to.

Mihha, do you see a work-around for this limitation?

    Hi,

    As a workaround you can wrap your shortcode in your post in a <span> element with a class and add custom css to your mail to hide that class.

    In your post:

    <span class="myclass">{shortcode}</span>

    Custom css in your mail:

    .myclass {display:none;}

      That looks like it saved the day (and kept me from asking for a refund). Thank you @jvstratum ! :-)
