Hyperlinks custom css not working in excerpt

Hi quizel,
strange, can you link me your website?

Hi,

The domain I am currently testing it on is: https://goo.gl/xSEfGB

I don’t have any other plugins running at the moment so it’s not cache related or something like that.

Hi quizel,
hyperlinks and custom styles are not displayed in the “excerpt”, these things are displayed in the “content”.

The “excerpt” is limited only to show a brief summary of the posts without using any graphic style.

Hi,

Since my previous theme had this feature that it would show graphic styles, hyperlinks, etc within the excerpt I thought it was a default feature.

Is this something you are willing to add to the theme in the future or do you have any idea how I can solve this myself?

Hi quizel,
probably your previous theme used “the_content()” function (or a custom function) instead of “the_excerpt()” to show the summary.
That’s why you saw hyperlinks, graphic style, etc …

It’s not a problem or a bug, it’s a different approach ??

If you want to use “style” in the excerpt, you should create a custom function like this:

function content($limit) {
  $content = explode(' ', get_the_content(), $limit);
  if (count($content)>=$limit) {
    array_pop($content);
    $content = implode(" ",$content).'...';
  } else {
    $content = implode(" ",$content);
  }
  $content = preg_replace('/\[.+\]/','', $content);
  $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
  $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
  return $content;
}

In this way you can use:

content(20);

insted of “the_excerpt”.

I have not checked the code, I got it from this post: https://smallenvelop.com/4-ways-to-limit-post-excerpt-length-in-wordpress/
