SSP can’t parse H2 tags?

Up?

Hi @rghedin!

Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

Currently, we allow only a few tags in the feed – <p>,<a>,<ul>,<ol>,<li>,<strong>,<em>.

But I don’t see any harm if we add header tags to this list as well. This change will be available in the next plugin release.

Best regards,
Sergiy, development team.

Awesome, @zahardoc! I’m looking forward this next release. Thanks! ??

@zahardoc, glad to see that this changing made its way to a release. Tested here and it’s working fine!

I noticed, however, a differente-but-related issue with <p> tags: they get vanished from SSP’s RSS unless I declared them using HTML editor. (I’m still using WordPress’ Classic Editor, btw.) If I just hit Enter (rich text editor) or double-Enter (HTML), which in WordPress automatically add <p> tags, they are ignored in SSP’s feed.

It’s a minor issue because there’s a workaround (write posts in HTML editor and write <p> tags), but I guess you’d like to know and, maybe, fix this in a upcoming update.

Hi @rghedin!

Glad it works for you now!

Regarding the <p> tag – we didn’t change anything on the plugin side from that perspective. I think something might have been changed in WordPress itself.

This issue with <p> tag predates this latest update. I was about to warn you guys but forgot to ??

@rghedin

Please try putting this code snippet in your functions.php file:

add_filter( 'ssp_feed_item_content', function ( $content ) {
	return wpautop( $content );
} );

It didn’t work, @zahardoc, as you can see in this post/podcast.

@rghedin

Sorry I couldn’t help you with the p issue, though it did work on my site.

The problem is that if you use Classic Editor WP itself doesn’t save the content with p tags. So maybe the best solution here would be just using HTML editor.

It’s a shame since the lack of <p> tag doesn’t affect WordPress’ front-end. Thanks for your reply, @zahardoc!

@rghedin

Yes, because WordPress adds <p> tags automatically before putting text to front-end.

I mean it converts newlines into paragraphs. And that is what I was trying to do when advised the filter in my previous posts ( with wpautop() function ). I’m not sure why it didn’t work on your site though.

A added that snippet again, just in case. (I guess it can’t hurt even if it doesn’t work, right?)

Thanks, @zahardoc!

@rghedin

Yes, I believe it won’t hurt.
