[Plugin: Genesis Post Teasers] Formatting stripped?

I was wondering the same thing. Is there a way to edit the php file to retain the html formatting for this plugin?

Wow…I’m having the EXACT same problem.

On the actual page for the post, all images, formatting and paragraph breaks exists, but on the home page, all is lost. ??

This problem renders this plugin useless if I lose all of the formatting for the post on the homepage. Other than that, it’s wonderful, and that’s for the plugin!

Any ideas on how to allow the HTML tags that are being stripped from the post on the home page?

Thanks!

The teasers use the_excerpt() which by default strips out any HTML and shortcodes, and for good reason since it does cut content at a character length so can cut content before a tag is closed and cause displaying issues with the site.

You can look into filtering the the_excerpt() or removing genesis_grid_loop_content() and creating your own function to output the content your way for now.

I’ll try to figure a clover way to handle this within the plugin though and make it easier in the future. Will have to take some thought however, since it could easily cause issues with a site. Maybe through a filter of some sort to easily enable it. But yes for now I would look into core Genesis to see how the genesis_grid_loop() works since this plugins utilizes this function, and look to removing genesis_grid_loop_content() and adding your own, or try filtering the_excerpt().

Thanks for your reply. If I have time, I’ll have a look during my summer vacation. But I certainly don’t have your experience and would really appreciate your improvement on the plugin.

Thanks to your explanation, I now understand the need to strip HTML from excerpts. Maybe a first step in improving the plugin would be to handle the featured posts differently than the teasers.

Anyway, thanks for your time, for this plugin and for all your contributions to my continuous learning of WordPress and Genesis.
