Allow posts to show HTML WordPress

• SOLVED

Hello, I am using the 'Jquery Accordion' (http://www.jeffikus.com/downloads/wordpress-jquery-accordion-plugin/) plugin in the sidebar of a site to show posts you can see here:

http://www.willpowerproductions.co.uk/

However it does not allow me to show html here only standard text, how can I make it show exactly whats in the post and output html?

For example I put youtube embed codes in the post but it doesn't show the youtube vid in the sidebar.

Here is the code for the widget:

<?php
/*

Plugin URI: http://www.jeffikus.com/downloads/wordpress-jquery-accordion-plugin/
Description: A jquery accordion of the latest posts in a specific category
Version: 0.1

Navjot Singh answers:

Try replacing


$result .= get_the_excerpt();


with


$result .= get_the_content();


in the plugin file. Wordpress strips all HTML from the excerpt so you will need to display full content for which this change is necessary.

Hello

You only have to fill a real excerpt in your posts because WordPress sanitize the content into the excerpt if you leave it blank on publication.

See you

Navjot is faster than me :)

Just to add to his answer, this will display the complete content of the post.
So create content accordingly.

Thanks!!!

John Cotton answers:

By default, WordPress strips HTML from content when it automatically creates an excerpt (ie if you leave that box blank).

So either change get_the_excerpt to get_the_content or, if you want a shorter version for your accordian, put an explicit excerpt in the box on the post edit page.

Benjamin Goldberg answers:

I don't know if this is will work for you but I posted a function which allows for some tags in excerpts as long as the tag is properly closed, which could be a problem with excerpts because a closing tag might get cut off from a starting tag. If you want to try it you should probably copy the get_the_excerpt function and the safetags function from my functions.txt file nto your functions.php file.
