@ Fred: You should be able to do this from the plugin settings page. Go to Settings -> Excerpt and then untick the "Don't remove any markup" checkbox, as well as all the checkboxes for tags that you don't want (img is also in the list).

I cannot figure out how to get it to disallow images from my excerpts. The only thing I want to allow in my excerpts are active links. I am keeping it disabled until I can solve this problem.

Nobody on the wordpress support forums seems to have an answer.

I went into my plugin editor, looking at advanced-excerpt/advanced-excerpt.php. I see there is a section for “allowed tags” but I cannot find “img” or “img src” anywhere. I need to block image tags from loading in my excerpts, else they will load in my scrolling window and cause problems.

Any idea why the image caption doesn’t show, but rather take the image away.

Howdy Bas, Any thoughts on why the “read more” link is not showing up in my excerpts. Everything else works perfectly! I have checked the read more checkbox in settings > excerpt.

Thanks, Malcolm

Sorry, Bas, but where did you find Experts Setting for this plugin? And where is a plugin setting page?

Aye. I found that in the Excerpt settings. I didn’t look hard enough the first time.

What’s weird is the ones I use (“p” and “br”) are on the list, and I even checked “Don’t remove any markup.”

Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to change anything.

The excerpt still seems to be ignoring the line breaks. I’m kind of confused and wondering if theres something else I am missing.

Any help would be appreciated. the page is http://www.reelfocus.org (and the first post on the page is the one I’m having problems with)

Thanks in advance

You can choose allowed HTML tags in the plugin settings page (Settings -> Excerpt) also. The only requirement in your code is to use the_excerpt() instead of the_content() on pages where excerpts should appear. If you want more fine-grained control, you will have to use the_advanced_excerpt() with custom parameters, but this isn't necessary for most people. The main reason to use it is to override the general plugin settings.

I just downloaded this plugin on a recommendation from someone.

I am having issues with Wordpress stripping the HTML tags from my excerpts, which I use to help format the look of the post.

Unfortunately, I just have no idea how to code .php – I’ve learned a couple of things, but i cannot figure out how to actually tell the plugin to allow HTML tags in my excerpts.

I read the FAQ and saw the example code, but the only thing I care about adding is keeping the HTML tags.

I saw where it said the ‘allow_tags’ code would let me do that, and entering ‘_all’ would tell it all tags, but I’m not clear on the format. Can someone give me a bit of a push?

Thanks in advance, and sorry if I come off as an idiot. When it comes to code, I am one
