I am trying to use a plugin called 'Shortcode Extractor' to extract shortcodes from a WordPress content. The content above contains a shortcode `[INST]...[/INST]` which I want to be extracted and processed. However, the plugin seems to only extract the shortcode content as a list, not as a single paragraph as requested.
Is there a way to modify the content or the plugin's settings to extract the content of the shortcode as a single paragraph without the list format?
## Answer (1)
The plugin you're using, "Shortcode Extractor," is designed to extract shortcode contents and list them separately. If you want to process the content of a shortcode to be output as a single paragraph instead of a list, you might need to do some custom coding or use a different approach.
Here's what you can do:
1. **Custom Function:**
Create a custom function in your theme's `functions.php` file or in a custom plugin that processes the shortcode content and outputs it as a single paragraph.
```php
function extract_shortcode_as_paragraph($atts) {
$content = shortcode_parse_atts($atts);
return wpautop(wptexturize(strip_tags($content)));
}
add_shortcode('INST', 'extract_shortcode_as_paragraph');
```
This function will take the content from the `[INST]...[/INST]` shortcode, strip out any HTML tags (except for paragraph tags), and then reapply `
` tags where necessary to create proper paragraphs.
2. **Manual Editing:**
If the content within the shortcode is not dynamic and you're sure it will always be a single paragraph, you can manually edit the content and remove any list formatting.
3. **Custom Plugin:**
If you prefer to keep the shortcode as is but want to extract its content in a different way, you can create a custom plugin that hooks into the content processing and replaces the list with a paragraph.
```php
function replace_list_with_paragraph($content) {
$pattern = '/\n\n/'; // This pattern matches two newlines, indicating a list
return preg_replace
