This example of bw_geshi contains a shortcode that should not have expanded.
[wp]
[bw_plug option=active_plugins]
When the NextGen plugin is active, the shortcodes ignored by the bw_geshi shortcode would get expanded by NextGen. This was unwanted behaviour, which has now been fixed with version 0.5 of the oik-css plugin.
Problem report
When nextgen is active and the [bw_geshi] shortcode contains shortcode examples then the shortcode examples get unexpectedly expanded.
Problem analysis
The problem is created by NextGen’s filter function for “the_content”.
function parse_content($content) {
$this->_runlevel--;
$this->activate_all();
$content = do_shortcode($content);
$content = apply_filters('ngg_content', $content);
return $content;
}
- The filter function is added with the highest priority possible (i.e. last).
- It invokes do_shortcode() directly against the already formatted content.
- This cause the shortcode’s that bw_geshi left untouched to be expanded.
Workarounds
- De-activate NextGen
Solutions
- Change bw_geshi to convert ‘[‘ to [
A change like this has now been implemented in oik-css v0.5.
