Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Education Hub] Excerpt functionality strips URLsI don’t think you fully understand the issue. So, let me ask this another way. Suppose you have two posts shown on the homepage. One post contains 5 words with two of those words being links to another site. The second post contains 30 words with no links. Now, suppose you set the excerpt length to a number between 5 and 30 – the first post will be seen in its entirety and the second post will have a “Read more..” link. The links in the first post are seen as text instead of links because your excerpt functionality strips links from full posts on the homepage – your readers won’t know there are clickable links when viewing the homepage. This bug isn’t present when using the built-in
<!--more-->functionality that ships with WordPress.So, you’re asking me to pay for the pro version in order to get the same functionality that WordPress provides for free?

In reply to: Custom CSS without pluginNow that I’ve successfully added the shortcode, what would I need to do in order to add a button in the editor so I don’t even need to type in the shortcode? Just click a button for the shortcode the same way you do for a normal blockquote. I’m guessing this involves adding functions to php files in the theme folder, which is fine with me.

In reply to: Custom CSS without pluginThis works perfectly for the shortcode implementation (added to functions.php in the theme folder):
function tipnote_shortcode( $atts , $content = null ) { return '<blockquote class="tipnote">' . $content . '</blockquote>'; } add_shortcode( 'tipnote', 'tipnote_shortcode' );And this works perfectly for the CSS styling:
blockquote.tipnote { color: #313131; background: #dfffd9; border: 1px solid #a2cc99; }I’m adding the above information in case it should be useful to someone in the future.

In reply to: Custom CSS without pluginSteve Stern, Thank you! I actually had the shortcode implemented after reading the shortcode api page that you linked. I used to design web pages, with css, from scratch in a text editor, and I’m already familiar with php, so this was quick and easy. Thank you very much for your help and for pointing me to the shortcode api page. I love WordPress! 🙂

In reply to: Custom CSS without pluginSteve Stern, Yes, a shortcode would work perfectly for this. Thank you very much!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Custom CSS without pluginThe forum system botched my original question. I need to be able to enter:
<mytipnote class="tip-note">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</mytipnote>It’s the
<blockquote class="tip-note">and the ending</blockquote>tag that I need to automate. or I could make it<mytipnote class="tip-note">with a</mytipnote>tag to end the styling instead of blockquote.There is a button for block quotes so it follows that I should be able to add something for
<mytipnote class="tip-note">.. otherwise WordPress wouldn’t be able to style anything as a block quote when we press the blockquote button.I realize this may involved editing core WordPress files and I cam comfortable with that.
I know this is possible, I just need to learn how to do it.
