# Use html in excerpt

* Hi.
I am developing a website for a parish council and am planning to use the
Featured Image Pro plugin to list the Councillors (whose details are included
in individual posts with the category Councillor). I want to show images in the
excerpt, to show which committees the Councillors sit on and have added an excerpt
accordingly to the post, however html used to display images is stripped out.
I have added the Advanced Excerpt plugin to try to stop this, but there must
be something in the Featured Image Pro plugin that is stopping this working,
as it is working with the Genesis Featured Widget Amplified plugin (see sidebar
on linked page). Is there any way of fixing this please? Many thanks.

* Hi Fionder,
* I had a similar request for the thumbnail grid a few months ago.
* I will take a look at this within the next couple of days.
* Best,
Adrian

* Just FYI, it is not standard WordPress to have images in excerpts but this is
a fairly easy setting that I can add.

* Just wanted to let you know that I haven’t forgotten this! The update will be
released by Monday with an additional setting. It will be available in advanced
settings in the shortcode.
