Viper's Video Quicktags plugin: "[flickr video]" WP Jetpack shortcode is deprecated and its use breaks /sitemap.xml #3

Closed andrebu closed 8 years ago

This is potentially one of the several bugs breaking sitemap.xml and affecting indexing by search engines, and therefore SERP ranking.

The error given by WP_DEBUG when opening /sitemapindex.xml is:

Notice: add_shortcode was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. Invalid shortcode name: 
flickr video. Do not use spaces or reserved characters: & / < > [ ] Please see <a

WordPress</a> for more information. (This message was added in version 
4.4.0.) in /home/www-data/earmilk/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3792
