Hi,

I have imported a lot of contents with links, but the links are displayed into shortcodes instead of being inserted as HTML.
Here is what they look like :

[my link name-><em><u>hidden link</u></em>;

How would it be possible to build a custom shortcode with WordPress that would display those links into real <a> tags ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The format or structure that you've shared, is very strange and different from the usual shortcodes used in WordPress.
( ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API )

Do you recall which plugin or theme was used earlier to add this imported content?

In case the source plugin or theme of that content is not known, you'll need some custom script/code to systematically convert those shortcodes into links, at the database level.

I'm afraid, it won't be possible for us to provide 1-1 assistance around the customization of this scale, but you can consider hiring a professional from our list of recommended contractors:
