Styling featured post text on front page ?

[Boblebad]

Hi

I'm having trouble figuring out how to style the text on the front page, the featured post.

http://www.gittehovmand.dk/

There are no line breaks at all as in the original post, how come, and what can i do to get the post look nice ?

It's the Delicious theme, but i see the same on Agent theme

All the best

When you are using the excerpt or content limit it takes away all html ie line breaks, formatting..

You can either use a custom excerpt which will get the original formatting. Or use the content with more tag.

So what you're saying is that i need to use the more tag inside the post, to get the post excerpt look nice or ?

I use the more tag on the featured post widget.

You can also add back the HTML formatting tags using this code snippet:

Please copy this PHP code from the view raw link and paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file.

Thank you Brad

But, it does not work, here you can see where i put it:

<?php
// Start the engine
require_once(TEMPLATEPATH.'/lib/init.php');

// Child theme library
require_once(CHILD_DIR.'/lib/style.php');
require_once(CHILD_DIR.'/lib/widgets/delicious-slider-widget.php');

// Child theme (do not remove)
define('CHILD_THEME_NAME', 'Delicious Theme');
define('CHILD_THEME_URL', 'http://www.studiopress.com/themes/delicious');

// Tilbagefør stylen for featured post widget
add_filter( 'get_the_content_limit_allowedtags', 'get_the_content_limit_custom_allowedtags' );
/**
* @author Brad Dalton
* @example http://wp.me/p1lTu0-a5w
*/
function get_the_content_limit_custom_allowedtags() {
// Add custom tags to this string
return '<script>,<style>,<br>,,<i>,

,
,
1. ,';
   }

   // Add support for custom background
   if ( function_exists('add_custom_background') ) {
   add_custom_background();
   }

Hmm, don't know why i can't insert the code, so it gets displayed right, first i tried the code-"tag", but didn't work either...

Click, This Gist and copy it from the view raw link

Then paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor like Notepad++

Tested the code and it works.

Don't add any code tags.

Are you using FTP or File Manager in cPanel to access the functions file?

The problem with inserting the code, is here in the forum, not in the code in functions.php

Are you sure it works with the Featured Post widget in the Delicious theme, cause i can't get it to work, and it looks exactly like in here ?

I did it through the Dashboard in WP.

Regarding the widget, it doesn't make any difference whether i use "excerpt" or "content limit", just a matter of button.

Regarding using the excerpt function in WP settings/reading, it does give some formatting, it gives line breaks, but not blank lines between lines of text, so the text is still somewhat cluttered together...
