I've seen the tutorials on creating a [raw] shortcode that leaves the code inside it untouched,
http://www.wprecipes.com/disable-wordpress-automatic-formatting-on-posts-using-a-shortcode
but unfortunately this only applies to 1 shortcode at a time... AND b/c the else statement bypasses the normal filters and calls the functions directions, my other modifications to autop and texturize functions get ignored.
is there a way to 1. match multiple shortcodes and 2. preserve my other add/remove filters to the_content?
After implementing @helgatheviking's solution on multiple websites, I'm convinced that only these lines are required:
//move wpautop filter to AFTER shortcode is processed
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' , 99);
add_filter( 'the_content', 'shortcode_unautop',100 );
Put them in your functions.php
file and you're set.
solved this as best as possible by combining a slightly modified parse_shortcode_content function from Donal MacArthur (his originally manually calls wpautop... which i've removed. with the re-ordering of default filters to run wpautop much later... after the shortcode has already been processed instead of before.
//Clean Up WordPress Shortcode Formatting - important for nested shortcodes
//adjusted from http://donalmacarthur.com/articles/cleaning-up-wordpress-shortcode-formatting/
function parse_shortcode_content( $content ) {
/* Parse nested shortcodes and add formatting. */
$content = trim( do_shortcode( shortcode_unautop( $content ) ) );
/* Remove '' from the start of the string. */
if ( substr( $content, 0, 4 ) == '' )
$content = substr( $content, 4 );
/* Remove '' from the end of the string. */
if ( substr( $content, -3, 3 ) == '' )
$content = substr( $content, 0, -3 );
/* Remove any instances of ''. */
$content = str_replace( array( '<p></p>' ), '', $content );
$content = str_replace( array( '<p> </p>' ), '', $content );
return $content;
}
and moving the filters
//move wpautop filter to AFTER shortcode is processed
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' , 99);
add_filter( 'the_content', 'shortcode_unautop',100 );
EDIT:
The parse_shortcode_content()
function is no longer required (if it ever was). Simply adjust the filter order.
In my case - this solution has broken one of the side shortcodes (revslider).
So I've found another solution here:
http://wordpress-hackers.1065353.n5.nabble.com/shortcode-unautop-tp42085p42086.html
which is to use another filter like this:
// via http://www.wpexplorer.com/clean-up-wordpress-shortcode-formatting/
if ( !function_exists('wpex_fix_shortcodes') ) {
function wpex_fix_shortcodes($content){
$array = array (
'<p>[' => '[',
']</p>' => ']',
']<br />' => ']'
);
$content = strtr($content, $array);
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'wpex_fix_shortcodes');
}
Works fine for me :)
Please see my answer here:

It allows you to turn off wpautop for as many specific shortcodes as you want using this:
include "shortcode-wpautop-control.php";
chiedolabs_shortcode_wpautop_control(array('shortcodeone', 'shortcodetwo'));
