How to incorporate format/links into blog

  • I am using the Creativix theme and have a blog page that incorporates all my posts. However, the blog displays only unformatted text. No paragraph breaks, and no links (even when the entire link is shown in the excerpt. Looks terrible in my opinion.

    I would like to increase the blog excerpt size and have each blog entry incorporate all the formatting/links/media into the blog page (assuming those fit into the excerpt).

    Thanks!

  • Sounds like that template is using the_excerpt which does strip out formatting. You could likely change that to the_content and use <!--more-->to control what shows on that page.

    Exactly what I needed. One-word change in blog template did it. Thanks.

    Spoke (a little) too soon. That worked easily on my blog page. However, it did not work when I applied the same fix on my home page which also uses the excerpt tag for ‘featured posts’. Code looks like this:

    `<?php echo wpcx_custom_excerpt(get_the_excerpt());?>
    <?php if($thumb) {?>“><img src=”<?php echo $thumb;?>” alt=”” /><?php }

    I tried to replace ‘excerpt’ with ‘content’ in all relevant areas but it didn’t work. Is the custom_excerpt a specially designed function that I need to find/edit elsewhere?

    Or can I override with a conditional tag?

    A little out of my comfort zone (froze the page when I added to functions.php).
