 * When I post articles to my pages I would like the author name to appear in bold
   on a separate line. It’s doing this fine in the article full page, but in the
   preview/ extract block on the front page it’s appearing in the same style/ format
   as the extract text, for example …

 * How can I get the extracts to look like this, on a separate line:

 * Hi, [@agorawales](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agorawales/)
 * By default `get_the_excerpt()` has a filter `wp_trim_excerpt()` that removes 
   all HTML tags from excerpts.
 * You can:
    1.  Contact your theme developers. Since you use a commercial theme (Divi ), please
       go to their official support channel. We feel they are best equipped to support
       their products:
    2. [https://www.elegantthemes.com/members-area/help/](https://www.elegantthemes.com/members-area/help/)
    3. Forum volunteers are not given access to commercial products, so we would not
       know why your commercial theme is not working properly. **[Commercial products are not supported in these forums.](https://make.wordpress.org/support/trouble/section-1-getting-started/what-is-not-supported/)**
    4. Add some php code in your child theme functions.php file. I just tested the 
       solution at [https://wp-website-coach.com/code-snippet/a-bit-of-php-to-preserve-html-formatting-in-standard-wordpress-excerpts/](https://wp-website-coach.com/code-snippet/a-bit-of-php-to-preserve-html-formatting-in-standard-wordpress-excerpts/)
       and it works for me. You would want to modify it a bit like this to include `
       <pre>`
        `$text = strip_tags($text, '<strong><pre><b><em><i><a><code><p><br>');`
 * I’m sorry the above solution is a bit more technical fix and I couldn’t find 
   a plugin. If this is very important to you and you don’t feel comfortable coding,
   you can ask a developer to help you. (don’t accept nor ask for any job offers
   on these forums – you can try at [https://jobs.wordpress.net/](https://jobs.wordpress.net/))
 * Hope this helps,
    Kind regards!
