I am trying to: Get the links to work in the post excerpts.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I expected to see: The links within the excerpt (they aren't showing up). First image is the excerpt on the archive. The second image is the actual single post with links in orange.
The link is actually in the title. Is it that you want the link to be on the last few words as well ?
For the pagination you will need to remove it from the theme's archive.php file and then change the location of the pagination in the view. I've done this for you and the pagination should now be at the bottom.
I've also added some css to hide the pagination for divi 🙂
Thank you for helping with the archive pagination. The links that aren't showing up or are being stripped out are in the automatic excerpt.
For instance, the article I posted last week, has links in the copy. On the archive page, the links aren't showing in the copy. Here's the raw article code:
Russ August & Kabat is proud of its partners, <a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" target="_blank">Larry C. Russ</a> and <a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" target="_blank">Nathan D. Meyer</a>, whose article, "Fashion Forward," was published in the September 2017 issue of <em>Los Angeles Lawyer Magazine</em>, the official magazine of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. In the article, they explain the findings and consequences of the landmark decision in Star Athletica v. Varsity Brands. In addition, Larry C. Russ and Nathan D. Meyer appear on the magazine cover. <a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">Read the PDF article</a>.
None of the links are appearing in the excerpts on the archive page. I'm not sure if this is a Divi theme issue/conflict or a Toolset issue. I'm new to Toolset.
I also had an issue with the sidebar (since removed) that showed the latest posts with the links not being active on that archive page. If you went into a single article, the links on the latest posts were working, but not on the archive page itself. I ended up removing the sidebar entirely as that feature wasn't working.
Actually this is a wordpress issue as excerpt fields are meant for plain text meaning that any HTML will get stripped out.
What you can do as a substitute is to create a WYSIWYG field in Types and then use that as your excerpt field, this way you can add your HTML information.
