how to exclude text in specific tags in excerpt?

Hi there!

In the title of this topic you say that you want to “exclude text in specific tags”. Which tags? Are author names wrapped in tags? If so, you could use some CSS to hide the names from display. Otherwise you’ll have to provide some more details (eg. how are you adding the author to your post content?)

hello,
im using simple <i> tags for italics, this is how homepage of my web looks:https://profil.kultury.sk/en/

As you can see at first popular article there is name of text author i would like ot hide in excerpt

Alright, try this:

1. Go to Widgets > WordPress Popular Posts and under “Display post excerpt” enable the “Keep text format and links” checkbox.
2. Hit the Save button to apply changes.
3. Add the following CSS code to your theme’s stylesheet:

   .wpp-excerpt i:first-of-type {
       display: none; /* This will hide the first I tag found on the excerpt which should be the one containing the author name */
   }
