woodmart excerpts on blog archive showing elementor code

Blog archive is showing excerpts but they are showing elementor shortcode in the excerpt.
When I turn use twenty-twenty theme it does not show that code.
When I go back to woodmart, it shows up again.
I have turned off all other plugins not included with woodmart and done all the latest upgrades for WP, woocommerce and all other plugins.
How do I get the code to not show up in excerpts?

Hello,

You can sort it out with the below code, enter it into the functions.php file in your child theme.

if( ! function_exists( 'woodmart_excerpt_from_content' ) ) {
	function woodmart_excerpt_from_content($post_content, $limit, $shortcodes = '') {
		// Strip shortcodes and HTML tags
		if ( empty( $shortcodes )) {
			$post_content = preg_replace("/\[caption(.*)\[\/caption\]/i", '', $post_content);
			$post_content = preg_replace('\[[^\]]*\]','',$post_content);
		}

		$post_content = stripslashes( wp_strip_all_tags( $post_content ) );

		if ( woodmart_get_opt( 'blog_words_or_letters' ) == 'letter' ) {
			$excerpt = mb_substr( $post_content, 0, $limit );
			if ( mb_strlen( $excerpt ) >= $limit ) {
				$excerpt .= '...';
			}
		}else{
			$limit++;
			$excerpt = explode(' ', $post_content, $limit);
			if ( count( $excerpt) >= $limit ) {
				array_pop( $excerpt );
				$excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '...';
			} else {
				$excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt );
			}
		}

		$excerpt = strip_tags( $excerpt );

		if ( trim( $excerpt ) == '...' ) {
			return '';
		}

		return $excerpt;
	}
}

Please let me know if you have any further questions in the meantime.

Thanks so much.
Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to work, I pasted your code in and I’m getting this error message on the excerpts now:
Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier '\' in /home/vieracleartech/public_html/wp-content/themes/woodmart-child/functions.php on line 15

this is line 15 in your code:
$post_content = preg_replace('<code>\[[^\]]*\]</code>','',$post_content);

This also didn’t have an effect on the HTML block shortcode being used in the category description. It’s still showing as just the shortcode, not the content of it.

Hello,

The issue has been fixed on your website so now it appears well.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem with the same error message. Can you provide the corrected version of the code to copy please?

Thank you!

Just fixed it:

if( ! function_exists( 'woodmart_excerpt_from_content' ) ) {
	function woodmart_excerpt_from_content($post_content, $limit, $shortcodes = '') {
		// Strip shortcodes and HTML tags
		if ( empty( $shortcodes )) {
			$post_content = preg_replace("/\[caption(.*)\[\/caption\]/i", '', $post_content);
			$post_content = preg_replace('/\[[^\]]*\]/i','',$post_content);
		}

		$post_content = stripslashes( wp_strip_all_tags( $post_content ) );

		if ( woodmart_get_opt( 'blog_words_or_letters' ) == 'letter' ) {
			$excerpt = mb_substr( $post_content, 0, $limit );
			if ( mb_strlen( $excerpt ) >= $limit ) {
				$excerpt .= '...';
			}
		}else{
			$limit++;
			$excerpt = explode(' ', $post_content, $limit);
			if ( count( $excerpt) >= $limit ) {
				array_pop( $excerpt );
				$excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '...';
			} else {
				$excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt );
			}
		}

		$excerpt = strip_tags( $excerpt );

		if ( trim( $excerpt ) == '...' ) {
			return '';
		}

		return $excerpt;
	}
}
