Advanced Excerpt – WordPress Plugin
Advanced Excerpt is a great plugin to install into WordPress. After doing some work on a customers blog I ran into issues with the ‘
‘ tags being removed when the customer edited the content and wanted to view the code visually.
This was causing damage to the style of the page. The solution is to install this plugin. More information can be found at the following web address.
Excerpt, automatic excerpt, and teaser
The manual WordPress excerpt is often confused with the automatic excerpt or with the teaser (the part of a post that appears on the front page when you use the More tag). While both are related to the manual excerpt, they are different from it.
The relationship between the three is this: When a post has no manual excerpt, WordPress looks for a teaser to use as excerpt. If the post has no teaser either, WordPress generates automatically an excerpt by selecting the first 55 words of the post.
