Line Breaks in excerpts

Sorry, I had tried to say:

“I have a function code that allows special tags in my excerpts. “em” is one of them, working fine.”

you might need to add <p> to the allowed html tags;

and to avoid to end up with broken tags, try to apply force_balance_tags($text); before the return $text; (which your code seems to be missing, btw)

(untested)

I messed around with the functions.php, but I haven’t gotten it to work yet…

I messed around with the functions.php

just edit your ‘custom_wp_trim_excerpt()’ code (maybe you could paste teh code into the pastebin.com and post the link to it here)

…I’m sorry, but I don’t even know what you’re referring to. I have a child template functions.php. Every “core” change I have made is in there.

Here’s my pastebin.

Crap, I forgot to mention that I took
out of the allowed tags just recently. So this code should not be working anyway. The question is, how do I fix it?

the change is basically this line 13:
$text = strip_tags($text, '<em><br><p>');

and in line 25:
$text = force_balance_tags($text) . $excerpt_more;

seems to work ok.

You got it working. Thanks!
