I use the TinyMCE Advanced plugin on my client’s site to keep WordPress from removing < p> and </br> tags (paragraph and line breaks). And it works great throughout the site. But these tags are being stripped from my Event Espresso excerpts. Is there a way to code paragraph breaks and line returns in the Event excerpts? Appreciate any solutions!

Hi,
The excerpts will strip HTML, just use Enter to create a new line break. The code will format them as paragraphs for you.

I’ve tried using enter and the text just runs together. No paragraphs at all. Is there anything else that might work?

Hi there,
Can you let me know which version of Event Espresso you are using? Along with that, it will help to know the name of the WordPress theme. This will help us investigate.

Thank you. The is running 4.6.17p. The excerpt is displayed using the Event Espresso Upcoming Events widget. Here is a link to the excerpt display on the site: http://icfcolorado.org.

Hi there,
The reason the tags are stripped from the widget’s excerpt is because if the excerpt gets cut off at x number of characters, it could potentially end up breaking the html on the page. For example, if the excerpt ends at the middle of <br> tag, further html on the page might not render correctly.
There may be a way to load in a non-html tag stripping version of a custom widget (by adding a custom plugin that loads in the custom widget instead of the standard widget). I’ll need some more time to see if that will work.
