 * Hello everyone,
 * I have an issue with the blog post excerpt. It doesn’t show paragraphs, etc. 
   You can see it here:

 * I don’t know why it has it wrapped up like that and doesn’t show format.
 * Do you have any ideas how could I fix this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hey, great question! I looked into this (with my friend Katherine) who suggested
   a plug in to repair this quirky fact that excerpts don’t show HTML.

 * This should amp up your excerpt ability. Hope this helps!

 * Thank you both of you!
 * I am just wondering if this could be fixed without adding a plugin, since I already
   have quite a few of them enabled.
 * Thanks again and looking forward to your reply.

 * If you do not want to use plugin, then refer to this post.
    it walks you through
   creating multiple excerpts. (I don’t really understand whether you really want
   it :P) [http://wpden.net/create-multiple-excerpts-wordpress/](http://wpden.net/create-multiple-excerpts-wordpress/)
 * but i personally use <!–more–> tag instead of excerpts has it keeps the layout
   nice and clean and also keeps the post formatting in the way author wanted it.

 * Yes, you could create it without a plugin in, but then you’d have to create a
   child theme. And really a plugin is best.
    There’s a myth that too many plug 
   ins is not a good deal, but check this out… [http://wpengine.com/2013/08/28/plugins-and-fast-wordpress-sites-its-not-the-number-of-plugins-its-the-quality/](http://wpengine.com/2013/08/28/plugins-and-fast-wordpress-sites-its-not-the-number-of-plugins-its-the-quality/)
 * It’s super cool to keep it as a plugin. And probably cleaner…

 * Thank you all very much for the replies!
 * <!–more–> doesn’t seem to work for this one, so I will probably go with the suggested
   plugin, if I can’t find a work around in the next couple of days.
 * Thank you all 🙂
