Dollar sign ($) glitch

    Hi again –

    An odd problem with the latest version of the theme: When there is a dollar sign and a decimal point (period) included in the text excerpt of a post, the amount of money will not appear in either the text excerpt on the home page or on the archive page.

    (The post titles are fine; this problem is limited to the text excerpt.)

    For example, a text excerpt of “Wells Fargo will pay $1.2 billion” will be displayed as “Wells Fargo will pay $ billion”

    If there is no decimal point included in the dollar amount, then it displays correctly. If there is a decimal point/period but no dollar sign, then it also displays correctly. It is the combination of the dollar sign and the decimal point that causes the problem.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    open lib/functions/theme-functions.php edit line 393

    $pattern = "/[a-zA-Z]*[:\/\/]*[A-Za-z0-9\-_]+\.+[A-Za-z0-9\.\/%&=\?\-_]+/i";
    to

    //$pattern = "/[a-zA-Z]*[:\/\/]*[A-Za-z0-9\-_]+\.+[A-Za-z0-9\.\/%&=\?\-_]+/i";

    although not sure if it will effect other excerpt since this is code to remove url link tag in content excerpt.

    Thanks very much. That worked perfectly on both the home page and in the archive of two different installations and with different browsers.
