Shortcodes and wpautop()

@pixelenity So what do you suggest? What do you use?

“ThemeForest theme developers in particular seem to love adding this code to their themes.” – lol

Thanks guys I have fixed it on my own ;P But for the next theme I will probably use the provided snippet.

Would be nice to provide the fix since you started the thread and others may be intersted :d

+1 for this and up we go

I had a very strange issue with empty paragraphs and spaces in the the shortcode of my last plugin.
I tried a lot of solution posted by authors here in the past months, but the only thing that solved it was this piece of code:

$data = shortcode content ..
$data= str_replace(array("\r", "\n", "\t", "\v"), '', $data);
return $data;

I don’t know if is the best way, but it works

I’m also looking for a bulletproof solution, so if anyone has it, please share it with us

Bulletproof solution: do not any of this. This kind of behavior should only ever be done in plugins.

These kind of snippets literally cause me and many other plugin developers dozens or hundreds of hours in support requests.

Indeed. Probably my issue was caused by one of them, since on the Twenty Eleven theme everything was fine.

It’s true, in most cases these snippets can cause major problems, however without removing those empty p tags the shortcodes won’t work properly, because WordPress adds them all over the place.

So, again, has anyone found a proper way to create shortcodes in a theme, without the use of a plugin, and without affecting other plugins ?
