#_EVENTEXCERPT outputs differently from #_EVENTEXCERPT{X,…}

Hi Hedley,

I get this too. I’ve passed this report on to the Dev team. Thanks.

Thanks for advising that you can reproduce this.

I will mark this ticket as resolved.

Hi Hedley,

I tested this out and yes you’re right, however this is done on purpose. The reason for this is because excerpts are usually used in specific places where a lot of formatting isn’t desired, especially if you need it to be a specific length.

Since you’re cutting the text at a specific point which we can’t predict, we need to remove shortcode and potentially balance/strip some tags out depending where you’re cutting the text, given you could cut it in between the content of a p tag or a shortcode, which would look quite unsightly.

The best solution is as you said, to add specific html wrapping the placeholder so it looks the way you need it to.

Hope that helps!

@netweblogic I cant use the shortcode #_EVENTEXCERPT with html tags inside anymore? I was using this with links tags and bold.

Ok, I′ve solved my problem using #_EVENTNOTES instead.
