Hi Stef!

Sorry about my confusion — thank you for the note!!

~Amber ??

Turned out to be a theme issue!

Forgot to mark this as resolved!

That fixed it Ajay! Thank you SO much!!!!!

I found a solution that probably isn’t pretty but it seems to solve the issue. Instead of using the following:

<?php echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt(), '<a><strong>'); ?>

I rewrote my loop as:

<?php
$content = get_the_content();
$trimmed_content = wp_trim_words( $content, 45, ' <a style="text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold; color:#0b674e;" href="'. get_permalink() .'">... Read More &raquo;</a>' );
echo $trimmed_content;
?>

No more issues.

Oh, just realized I messed up the code in the single file. It should show <?php the_author_meta('user_email') ?>.

I’m going to keep thinking about this!

I did try! And it isn’t working yet…. I added all of these JUST to make sure I didn’t miss anything:

$content_hook = array('the_content', 'get_comment_text', 'the_author_email', 'get_comment_author_email', 'get_the_author_email', 'get_avatar', 'the_author_meta');

And I went back into my single template where the email appears and tried a couple of things. I saw that technically “the_author_email” is depreciated, so I even changed it to “the_author_meta(‘user_email’)” and added “the_author_meta” into the hook list (as you can see above).

So, in my single page, this is how the area in question looks:

<p class="author_email">">Contact the author</p>

But when I view source it still shows the email written out. I’m sure I must be missing something.

Shoot. I’ll root around some more and see if I can’t get it to work. Again, thanks so much for your help!! I really hope I can get it to work — I know it will be a HUGE help! ??

Hhhmmm. I wonder if I’m missing something. Do I need to do an extra step? I see above the function in question it says “”to set up, pass in ‘add_action’. Do I need to add some extra code to my single template where I call the_author_email ? Or should this beautiful thing be working, as is?

Michael!

That is SO awesome!! Thank you so much for your reply!!!! So, if I’m correct, the new line would look something like this:

function enkoder_manage_filters($action) {
$content_hook = array('the_content', 'get_comment_text', 'the_author_email');

Is that right?

I REALLY appreciate your help – no matter the wait!!! I can’t wait to get this working. ??

I lied. It does work. I guess I hadn’t cleared my cache. icons=”false” works to remove the play button!

Of course, as soon as I post a question I figure out a work around. This question can be considered “Resolved”.

Spoke too soon. My issue was based on a single post template I have. Whoops!

Shoot. I am having the same exact problem…did you figure out the issue?
