I cant work this out!!!

I have set my <em>kgr_safe_excerpt</em> to show only the first 20 words when in an article list. (incidentally column on my pages). You can see the problem with a gap below my headline on the first article.

For some reason on the first article (and only the first article) it ADDS extra <p> tags?

I tried Vagari code above but it doesnt seem to do anything?

Cheers

That’s odd Martagnan, it looks like the problem is in the form (from all the extra whitespace) but I don’t understand why it’d only be in the first list item. I don’t know if it’ll help but I’ll include my form.

<code>
<div class=”<txp:author_id />Box”>
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>
<p><txp:kgr_safe_excerpt linktext=“…” words=“35” /></p>
<txp:posted /> – by <txp:author /> – <txp:comments_invite /></div>
</code>

Good luck, let us know if you figure it out. :)

Oh yeah, and I like the design on your site.

If there is more article to view and the ‘Read More’ link is required, all tags are stripped out, including the <p> tags.

If there are no more words than the excerpt the <p> tags are kept and it displays fine.

Can we stop it from stripping the <p> tags?

Well, I have been travelling the past few days, and I have also been very busy with schoolwork recently, but I’ll try to get an updated plugin released soon.

Not working for me on the latest versions of Textpattern strangely enough…

Anyone have a fix? I’ve narrowed the problem down to the implode/explode functions area.

Maybe its just my server? www.winatpoker.com/page.php
