Link Whole Excerpt doesn’t work properly when there is a link in excerpt

  • The whole excerpt link will end at the beginning of the link in the excerpt. After that point, the following content isn’t wrapped in the whole excerpt link.

    Hi @jiachenzeng

    Yeah, HTML does not allow links inside of links.

    So the only approach would be that we make it so if there is a link in the excerpt we do not link it, just handle that specific excerpt as if the “link whole excerpt” option was disabled.

    Would that be ok?

    Probably no. I think it’d be more natural to just ignore the link in the excerpt, and make the whole excerpt as a link to the post as usual. Is it hard to remove the a tags in the excerpt?

    On the settings page (WP admin > Settings > Excerpt) at the bottom you’ll see “Strip Tags” option, set that to “Remove all tags except the following” and then in the list below you can select which HTML tags to keep and all the rest will be removed.
