That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!!

No, I just want them to be replaced when viewing the posts the way they are. If I were to use the plugin “preserve-code-formatting”, would mean inserting and <pre> tags all over the place. I would not want to do that because I'm also replacing these links for live hyperlinks that people can click on without having the need to put the 's on every link.

I'm also using the "Auto-hyperlink URLs" plugin to process the links.

Hope I have been clear.

What I meant was to replace “<” and “>” to &lt and &gt

We were still using custom made “mgi” scripts, a very old old programming language that no one uses no more because it only runs on specific servers which don’t include Apache and it is very unstable. But since we are moving onto a more reliable and easy to use server, we need to also move all of our news posts and other stuff onto the new server.

I guess we will have to do a massive search and replace to get rid of all of these junk, like these brackets ??

Thanks coffee2code! That’s what I figured.

So this is what I think it’s happening. I’m running apache on a Mac OS X server. Now, the reason that “<https://www.cdfinder.de/>&#8221; is not getting published is because apache thinks it’s a html tag but it doesn’t know how to output it right? So there is no way that any plugin will make this output as regular html.

I would think that it should output this text as regular text even if it has the “<” and “</>” tags in there or am I wrong? I need it to at least output the words even if it’s not hyperlinked. I know I can simply delete the <> tags but I have more than 7000 posts which are like these that we are porting to WordPress.

Thanks guys!!!

Here’s an example of the hyperlink just dissapearing.

If you go to the source and search for “<https://www.cdfinder.de/>&#8221; you should see it there. But looking at the page, it’s not there.

Does anyone have any ideas what’s causing this?

Thanks guys :))

ok, I found where I can edit the number of words to output. In “functions-formatting.php”

All I need is to figure out how to replace the “[…]” to link to the whole post.

Thanks!!!

Thanks moshu and alphaoide!!! that works very well ??

Instead of using the_excerpt(), I used the_excerpt_rss() which works very well!

I know that I’m still missing a lot of formatting tags and classes to setup but that I can fix later.

Now, is there any way to replace the “[…]” with a more tag? to see the entire post? And, how can I change the number of words where it cuts off the post?

Thanks!!!

Hmm, it would work but when I click on the title to see the post, it does not show the entire post.

Try clicking on the first post on my website.

Also, the reason I liked the plugin “Condensed-Content” is because it strips out all html tags as well as shortening the content.

Shorten the size of each post to a certain amount of characters or words. I only want to show a small snipet of the post. To see the entire post, you would have to click on the post title to see the entire post on a separate page.

I could use the <!–more–> tag a€?? see my website at <https://www2.mactech.com/&gt; a€?? but I would think that there is an automated way to do this by using a function of some sort.

The plugin “Condensed-Content” could do the work for me but it only works with the search page and the categories page, not the main page.

Here’s an example of the “Condensed-Content” when doing a search: <https://www2.mactech.com/wordpress/index.php?s=cocktail&gt;

Thanks guys!

I definately would like to get a modified version of the plugin. Here’s my email:

Our problem is that the posts are simply too long to show on the main page. What I need is something that will limit the amount of text for each post just on the main page. I found a similar plugin called Limit-Post but I could not get it to work. Then I found your plugin.

If you could send a modified version of the “more” tag plugin so that it truncates the text to a certain limit it would do a BIG help.

Thanks!!!

How do you make it so that the <!–more–> tag gets added after a determined amount of characters? I changed the $max_char_count to 100 but it did not do it.

Thanks!
