Hi Patricia,
thanks, you code snippet does help to control the excerpt length. Nice!
As for the other issue: the HTML tags are standard tags like <ul>
and they are added using the Visual editor. However they are stripped from the excerpts. I tested this with all plugins deactivated and the default Twenty Seventeen theme activated, but even then the tags are removed from the excerpts. I’m afraid I still need some assistance on this one…
Cheers,
Henk
