    Dear Camille V,

    thank you for the great plugin. I have an issue with the custom excerpt field. Tried to fix it myself but couldn’t find the issue. Maybe you can help:

    I would like to display html links in my custom excerpt so that users can follow a link directly from the marker-popup in the map view. However, every time I enter html in the custom excerpt field and save the post, the data (as well as lat & long data) gets deleted. I tried to modify the hmtl purifier so that it allows html but this did not seem to work.

    Many thanks in advance and kind regards,

    Jakob

    Dear Jakob,

    It seems the meta boxes content are already sanitized by WordPress itself (I tried to var_dump before HTML purifier is executed, and the <a> link with href is already removed)

    It seems you have some development knowledge, did you know the latest version of the plugin added filters to interact witht he popover content ? I wrote something in the documentation for adding custom content to the popovers : https://camilles-travels.com/get-started-with-travelers-map-wordpress-plugin/#filters

    You could do exactly as it’s written in the documentation: add an ACF field, and add a button with the link as the content.

    I will try to have a look at why the link is sanitized in the meta box in the first place, but I think you should use the filter if you know how to do it ??
