[Gelöst] Format Excerpt in a View

[Author]

Forgive me if this is an easy answer, but I have looked and haven't found it. I am using a view to show an except of a custom post type (along with the post's title and author and featured image). I would like to be able to do some html formatting in the except (bold text, put in a link, etc.). Is this possible?

I tried using this plugin (Rich Text Excerpts http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rich-text-excerpts) which seemed to work fine in the post itself in terms of adding formatting, but it doesn't show up in the View.

Is there a better way to do this? Is there a way to do this at all?

Thanks for advising a newbie!

Hi jasonH-4,

I suggest you try create another shortcode for it like this:
1) add codes in your theme/functions.php

add_shortcode('advanced-excerpt', 'my_advanced_excerpt');
function my_advanced_excerpt() {
   return get_the_excerpt();
}

2) use shortcode [advanced-excerpt] in your content
