Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin work on WordPress version..?

Old Shortcodes works with the new shortcode feature in WordPress 2.5.

I entered a shortcode [my_old_shortcode], but it does not hide it.

You only need to enter the “name” of the shortcode that is between the square brackets.

    Michael, can you post some examples of the shortcodes used there? The plugin works with the current shortcode implementation in WordPress 2.5 which allows them to have arguments. It will hide all of these:

    [shortcode /]
[shortcode foo="bar" baz="bing" /]
[shortcode foo="bar"]content[/shortcode]

    You only need to enter the “name” of the shortcode, not the arguments.

    Is it possible to use wildcards with this? I used an old plugin called “quoter” that includes a comment id# inside the shortcode, so I need someway of including a wildcard to hide all instances of it.
