fix(content): convert leftover WPBakery shortcodes to clean markdown#37
Merged
Conversation
20 migrated posts (12 podcast, 8 articles) still contained raw
`[vc_row][vc_column]...` WPBakery/Visual Composer shortcodes that rendered
as literal text (the site builds with goldmark unsafe:false).
Unwrap structural shortcodes and convert the content-bearing ones instead
of dropping them:
- vc_video -> Hugo {{< youtube ID >}} embed under a "Watch:" label
- vc_custom_heading / vc_cta / vc_toggle / vc_tta_section -> markdown headings + body
- vc_btn and linked headings -> markdown links (URL-decoded)
- vc_single_image (unrecoverable WP media IDs) -> dropped
Also rewrite the badly-broken automation-summit team roster as a clean
markdown list and remove dead "Contact form not found" placeholders.
Verified: zero vc_ shortcodes remain in content/ and in the rendered site;
hugo build is clean.

What
20 migrated posts (12 podcast, 8 articles) still contained raw WPBakery / Visual Composer shortcodes (
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]…) left over from the WordPress migration. Because the site builds withmarkup.goldmark.renderer.unsafe: false, the brackets weren''t interpreted — they showed up as literal text on the published pages.How
Rather than blindly stripping every
[vc_*](which would delete real content), structural wrappers are unwrapped and content-bearing shortcodes are converted:vc_row/vc_column/vc_column_text/vc_empty_space/*_innervc_video link=…{{< youtube ID >}}embed under a Watch: labelvc_custom_heading/vc_cta/vc_toggle/vc_tta_sectionvc_btnand linked headingsvc_single_image(WP media IDs, no source files in repo)The badly-broken
2021-05-05-automation-summit.mdteam roster (destructured into orphaned names) was rewritten as a clean markdown list, and dead "Contact form not found" placeholders were removed.The migration script (
scripts/migrate-posts.cjs) is intentionally untouched — its source tree no longer exists, so these were one-time in-place fixes.Verification
