In reply to Matt Valvano. I had same issue. I inserted the code before ?> I removed the last } after which is after return $new_content; Then, it worked. It could a theme issue. I am using MySiteMyWay Elegance theme.

Matt thanks a lot. I have a plugin which required inserting a shortcode in a page via Peter’s Include plugin. The WP was driving me nuts for 3 days by inserting and all over on this particular page. I tried old solution of adding remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); but no help. I also tried WP plugins to disable autop without success. Until, Google search brought me to your page. It worked perfect.

In reply to sapiringo. Your welcome! Thanks for the heads up about the tags not working how I currently have it. I will update this post because I wrote it about 3 or 4 WordPress updates ago. Just need to finish our new blog layout first.. sigh (Ha Ha!). This is probably the issue Diane, below, was having!

thanks Matt, I got it running and working… Saved me! I was freaking out with thos p tags… just to share with others, I couldnt make the shortcode [raw][/raw] work if I wrote it manually, i had to click on the button on the bar in Text mode…and I renamed the function to whatever i wanted when I pasted the code on my functions.php hope it helps, thanks!

In reply to Diane Chan.

Diane,

This code can be stand alone and outside of that function’s php string. Try http://pastebin.com/Wyx0A8Ck

Just paste this at the very bottom and outside of your ?> within your function’s php.

I think it was due to the conflict with the rest of the code in your functions php. This should work and if it doesn’t let me know!

Help, it’s not working for me. : ( Running WP3.4.1, inserted this code into my child theme’s functions file, but got the white page when I tried to refresh the admin window. My functions file has other code in it. Whether I pasted the code inbetween other functions or at the end, same problem. Left off the ?>, still a white screen. Eliminated spaces, still a white screen. See http://pastebin.com/dz6uDP6V.
