Adding HTML To Excerpts WordPress

cunningfox comments:

No errors, the plugin just isn't doing anything.

Arnav Joy comments:

please explain more about your problem.

cunningfox comments:

I would like to include styled test within the excerpts on the the homepage flip boxes.

.mpc-card .face.back p.mpc-excerpt

On the first box I have <blockquote>Since 2001, Billion Dollar Babes has reigned as the world’s premier designer sample sale.(??)</blockquote> wrapped in a H3, but it is stripping it from the excerpt. I need the excerpt on the homepage to allow styled HTML text.

Arnav Joy comments:

try this in functinos.php

function custom_wp_trim_excerpt($text) {
$raw_excerpt = $text;
if ( '' == $text ) {
//Retrieve the post content.
$text = get_the_content('');

//Delete all shortcode tags from the content.
$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);

$allowed_tags = ''; /*** MODIFY THIS. Add the allowed HTML tags separated by a comma.***/
$text = strip_tags($text, $allowed_tags);

$excerpt_word_count = 55; /*** MODIFY THIS. change the excerpt word count to any integer you like.***/
$excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', $excerpt_word_count);

$excerpt_end = '[...]'; /*** MODIFY THIS. change the excerpt endind to something else.***/
$excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . $excerpt_end);

$words = preg_split("/[\n\r\t ]+/", $text, $excerpt_length + 1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
if ( count($words) > $excerpt_length ) {
array_pop($words);
$text = implode(' ', $words);
$text = $text . $excerpt_more;
} else {
$text = implode(' ', $words);
}
}
return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt);
}
remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'custom_wp_trim_excerpt');




cunningfox comments:

Hmm. Nothing. I deactivated Advanced Excerpt Plugin, should I have kept active or does that matter?

Arnav Joy comments:

you can deactivate plugin and use it

<?php the_excerpt();?>

Arnav Joy comments:

and if you use it then you do not have to filter anything


<?php the_excerpt();?>

cunningfox comments:

I'm confused.

The code you gave me is not working.

What did you want me to do next? (I do not have Advanced Excerpt Installed.)

cunningfox comments:

Specifically, what does:

<blockquote>you can deactivate plugin and use it

<?php the_excerpt();?></blockquote>

mean?

Arnav Joy comments:

i mean to say that if you use

<?php the_excerpt();?>

then you do not have to filter it using any other code and you also can deactivate plugin then

Arnav Joy comments:

do you see any setting in admin panel for hover / active state of menu

cunningfox comments:

I'm an idiot. Of course. The text was white on the background box before; with that gone I need to change the header text in the theme. However now the font color on the menu to the left is no longer white...

cunningfox comments:

But the code you sent isn't working. Why do you mean by use <?php the_excerpt();?>


Here is the entire .php related to excerpts in my functions.php
