Allow HTML in excerpt

I think that code might work if you take out the wrapping if ( '' == $text ) {

And then do add_filter(‘crp_excerpt’, ‘custom_wp_trim_excerpt’);

Thanks for the fast reply.

Unfortunately, removing if ( '' == $text ) { causes a critical error.

Hi,

The full wrapping if statement had to be taken out – please try this:

function custom_crp_trim_excerpt($text) {
    $raw_excerpt = $text;

    $text = get_the_content('');
 
    $text = strip_shortcodes( $text );
 
    $text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
    $text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
     
    /***Add the allowed HTML tags separated by a comma.***/
    $allowed_tags = '<br>,<li>,<p>';   
    $text = strip_tags($text, $allowed_tags);
     
    /***Change the excerpt word count.***/
    $excerpt_word_count = 60; 
    $excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', $excerpt_word_count); 
     
    /*** Change the excerpt ending.***/
    $excerpt_end = ' <a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">' . '&raquo; Continue Reading.' . '</a>'; 
    $excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . $excerpt_end);
     
    $words = preg_split("/[\n\r\t ]+/", $text, $excerpt_length + 1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
    if ( count($words) > $excerpt_length ) {
        array_pop($words);
        $text = implode(' ', $words);
        $text = $text . $excerpt_more;
    }
    return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt);
}
add_filter(‘crp_excerpt’, ‘custom_crp_trim_excerpt’);

Thanks,

Unfortunately, nothing happens – also if I try to completely mess up the code hoping that it will at least break up something. (like removing the ‘strip_shortcodes’)

I’m no way a coder, but can it have something to do with the right filters (tptn_excerpt ???)

Best regards,
Alex

Indeed it was the filter! Sorry, mixed up my plugins which are identical sets of code.

can you try with tptn_excerpt

Also did not work ;-(

I also tried to modify ‘formatting.php’ but I’m clearly not good enough to mess with these things.

Please can you try this – I got it to work on my test installs.

function custom_tptn_trim_excerpt( $text, $id ) {
	$raw_excerpt = $text;

	$text = get_the_content( null, false, $id );

	$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

	$text = apply_filters( 'the_content', $text );
	$text = str_replace( ']]>', ']]>', $text );

	/***Add the allowed HTML tags separated by a comma.*/
	$allowed_tags = '<br>,<li>,<p>,<strong>';
	$text         = strip_tags( $text, $allowed_tags );

	/***Change the excerpt word count.*/
	$excerpt_length = 60;
	$excerpt_length = apply_filters( 'excerpt_length', $excerpt_length );

	/*** Change the excerpt ending.*/
	$excerpt_end  = ' <a href="' . get_permalink( $id ) . '">&raquo; Continue Reading.</a>';
	$excerpt_more = apply_filters( 'excerpt_more', ' ' . $excerpt_end );

	$words = preg_split( "/[\n\r\t ]+/", $text, $excerpt_length + 1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY );
	if ( count( $words ) > $excerpt_length ) {
		array_pop( $words );
		$text = implode( ' ', $words );
		$text = $text . $excerpt_more;
	}
	return apply_filters( 'wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt );
}
add_filter( 'tptn_excerpt', 'custom_tptn_trim_excerpt', 10, 2 );
