Showing drop caps in Excerpts

same issue for me

…but I think it depend by theme not by plugin

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy at the time. What theme are you using? The dropcap shortcode is disabled on excerpt by default. I think the theme has something to do with it.

Thanks,

Hi Mauris, I have developed my own theme, could you explain how this is disabled, which v-code tot add to my them?

I use add_filter to the the_excerpt hook like so:

add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpsdc_filter_excerpt' );

function wpsdc_filter_excerpt( $content )
{
	$content = str_replace( '[dropcap]', '', $content );
	$content = str_replace( '[/dropcap]', '', $content );
	return $content;
}

Basically it removes the [dropcap] shortcode so it won’t be processed. I’ll try to add priority to add_filter function in the next patch to see if the problem still exists.

Cheers,
Mauris

Mark as resolved.
