Keep Post Formatting

    Is there a way to keep the post formatting in the auto-generated excerpt? I have links/etc. that are showing in my post excerpt but they do not come through.

    I also have paragraphs that make the post content more readable and those do not come through either. So it just looks like a wall of text.

    Can this be resolved in the DIV? Also, how would I format my div so the title is larger than the text?

    Excerpts strip out all formatting. If you’d like to show a formatted excerpt, use include_content=”true” and use the <!–more–> tag in your post content to mark where the excerpt should end.

    Tried that, so now I’m using the following code, but now I seem to be getting double of the first part of each post…
    see https://www.comperfection.com/posts for what I mean…
    [display-posts include_excerpt="true" include_content="true" image_size="thumbnail" posts_per_page="30" wrapper="div"]

    Yes, because you’re including both the excerpt and the post content. You should only use one or the other. So remove include_excerpt="true" from your shortcode.
