I'm using the widget to display other blog posts on another WordPress website we're currently running on this website (fortunately, this is a test website).
I wanted to change the [...] text at the end of the excerpt to display <a href"linktoarticle">Read More ></a>, going into the rss_multi_importer_widget.php file and changing the following if statement from:
if ($showdesc==1 && $addmotion!=1){
$desc= esc_attr(strip_tags(@html_entity_decode($items["mydesc"], ENT_QUOTES, get_option('blog_charset'))));
$desc = wp_html_excerpt( $desc, 360 );
if ( '[...]' == substr( $desc, -5 ) )
$desc = substr( $desc, 0, -5 ) . '[…]';
elseif ( '[…]' != substr( $desc, -10 ) )
$desc .= ' […]';
$desc = esc_html( $desc );
echo $desc.'<br/>';
}to this:
if ($showdesc==1 && $addmotion!=1){
$desc= esc_attr(strip_tags(@html_entity_decode($items["mydesc"], ENT_QUOTES, get_option('blog_charset'))));
$desc = wp_html_excerpt( $desc, 360 );
if ( '[...]' == substr( $desc, -5 ) )
$desc = substr( $desc, 0, -5 ) . '<a '.$openWindow.' href='.$items["mylink"].'>Read More ></a>';
elseif ( '<a '.$openWindow.' href='.$items["mylink"].'>Read More ></a>' != substr( $desc, -10 ) )
$desc .= ' <a '.$openWindow.' href='.$items["mylink"].'>Read More ></a>';
$desc = esc_html( $desc );
echo $desc.'<br/>';
}As you can see from the test site, all it displays is the text itself. I wanted to know how I can make the <a> elements to read like HTML and not pure text?
Any help is appreciated!
