Short codes being displayed in Medium article?

[hughforsyth]

Hi,

I've been trying the plugin and have noticed that it seems to post short code text to Medium as I see [caption....] in the Medium article.

I'm no WordPress Codex expert but I am guessing that this part of /lib/medium-admin.php is outputting the content without rendering the short codes:

private static function _prepare_content($post) {
    // Add paragraph tags.
    $post_content = wpautop($post->post_content);

It seems like a similar issue to this issue described on stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22270147/wordpress-shortcode-doesnt-work-when-getting-post-content-using-function-get-p

and suggests doing do_shortcode(get_post_field('post_content', $postid));

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/

or maybe this echo apply_filters( 'the_content', get_post_field('post_content', $postid) );

There's also a few suggestions in this:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content

<?php
$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() );
$content = str_replace( ']]>', ']]&gt;', $content );
?>

The easiest way to reproduce this is with a post with some embedded images with captions.

Thanks
