excerpt or archive / search error ?

Yeah it looks like the email is getting messed up when being posted through the_excerpt. Usually the_excerpt strips tags. You can try finding a plugin for the excerpts that allows html

well yea, actually it looks like the EXCERPT is messing up the links in a post !!!
look, there is another post in the archive further down (“institutions”), with links in it, from which the full article looks like this.

is this normal for WP ? any idea how i can get around this ?

right, i found this very useful link for CUSTOMIZING THE EXCERPT without any plugin, simply via the functions.php .

thing is, it does not seem to work the way i changed the code for me,
still not showing any links… grrrrr.. WHY ???

function improved_trim_excerpt($text) {
	$raw_excerpt = $text;
	if ( '' == $text ) {
		$text = get_the_content('');

		$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
		$text = preg_replace('@<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>@si', '', $text);
		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
		$text = strip_tags($text, '<a>');
		$excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', 40);
		$excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . ' . . . . ');
		$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
		if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
			array_pop($words);
			$text = implode(' ', $words);
			$text = $text . $excerpt_more;
		}
	}
	return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt);
}

remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'improved_trim_excerpt');

well, i managed to make this work this way:

1.) there was a conflict with the THUMBNAIL FOR EXCERPTS plugin. i deleted it.
2.a) to make use of the built in thumbnail function in WP i added the following to the functions.php:

// Add excerpt thumbnail
if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

2.b) and i added some more code to the loop:

<div class="post-content">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>

3.) and for the manipulation above i changed it to:

function improved_trim_excerpt($text) {
 	$raw_excerpt = $text;
	if ( '' == $text ) {
		$text = get_the_content('');

		$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
		$text = preg_replace('@<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>@si', '', $text);
		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
		$text = strip_tags($text, '<a><p><strong><em>');
		$excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', 70);
		$excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . ' . . . . ');
		$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
		if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
			array_pop($words);
			$text = implode(' ', $words);
			$text = $text . $excerpt_more;
		}
	}
	return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt);
}

remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'improved_trim_excerpt');

I found these snippets at kremalicious and aaronrussell – thank you guys ??

I AM STILL HAVING TROUBLES DISPLAYING THE OBFUSCATED EMAIL !!!
i tried adding the mailto: tag — no changes .. ??

ok, i found out that the excerpt bugged with a certain way of obfuscation … ??

i now use this obfuscator, and it works ??
