Jetpack includes many shortcodes allowing you to embed videos, audio files, images, and other media into your posts.
If you want to deactivate a specific shortcode without deactivating the Shortcodes module, you can add the following code to a functionality plugin. Please note that this will not work in a theme’s functions.php file due to the order in which WordPress loads plugins and themes and how we’re loading the shortcodes list.
function my_remove_shortcode_function( $shortcodes ) { $jetpack_shortcodes_dir = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins/jetpack/modules/shortcodes/'; $shortcodes_to_unload = array( 'ted.php', 'soundcloud.php', ); foreach ( $shortcodes_to_unload as $shortcode ) { if ( $key = array_search( $jetpack_shortcodes_dir . $shortcode, $shortcodes ) ) { unset( $shortcodes[$key] ); } } return $shortcodes; } add_filter( 'jetpack_shortcodes_to_include', 'my_remove_shortcode_function' );
In the code above, you’ll need to add to or remove shortcodes from the $shortcodes_to_unload
array. It requires the file name of the shortcode you want to deactivate.
