Hi and thanks in advance for any help you can give me! I have a mysterious issue.
The following code works exactly as expected. It spits out a custom Description field which includes formating etc exactly as it was originally inserted into my meta box, then at the end of the last line adds a "Learn More" link.
<?php echo wpautop($meta['station_description'] . ' <a href="/fake-link">Learn more</a> »'); ?>
When I change that fake link to use get_permalink, however, it adds a line break before spitting out the Learn More. Not a br tag, not a new p tag, just a line break that shows in the code and on the page. Here's the code:
<?php echo wpautop($meta['station_description'] . ' <a href="' . get_permalink() . '">Learn more</a> »'); ?>
This is how it displays:
The description text goes here yadda yadda yadda.
Learn more
»
Does anyone have any clue what would cause this and/or how to fix it? Thanks so much!!
And when viewing output HTML:
<p>The description text goes here yadda yadda yadda.
<a href="http://localhost/full-link/posturl/">Learn more</a>
