Remove visual composer shortcode

Question

I'm trying to remove all unnecessary shortcodes from visual composer with some preg_replace. E.g. there is some elements like this:

[vc_row][/vc_row][vc_row el_class="hidepdf]

The best way would be to remove anything between [] starting with vc_ and followed by anything until the end bracket ]

I've tried it with following RegEx:

/\[[\/]?vc_*[^\]]\]/

But it does not seem to work.

Answer 1

Try this regex "/\[(\/*)?vc_(.*?)\]/"
