    Hello,

    first of all thank you all for this wonderful plugin.

    Is there a way to retain the HTML format in the excerpt of Post Grid and Post Masonry?
    I tried to use: 

    add_filter('uagb_single_post_excerpt_grid', function($excerpt, $id, $attr) {
	return get_the_content();
},10, 3 );

    But with this way some HTML codes work fine and other codes likes <figure> and <embed> will be stripped. The problem with this code is also that the count of characters/words can not be controled.

    I also tried: 

    add_filter('uagb_single_post_excerpt_grid', function($excerpt, $id, $attr) {
	return the_content();
},10, 3 );

    With this code all HTML will work fine but the problem is also that the count of characters/words can not be controled.

    Do you have any suggestion how I can retain the complete HTML format in the excerpt of Post Grid and Post Masonry? And at the same time to be able to controle the count of characters/words.

    Hello @abu-maryam,

    If you want to retain the HTML format in the excerpt of Post Masonry, then you can use the following filter:

    add_filter('uagb_single_post_excerpt_masonry', function($excerpt, $id, $attr) {
	return get_the_content();
},10, 3 );

    If you want to retain the HTML format in the excerpt for Post Grid, then you can use the following filter:

    add_filter('uagb_single_post_excerpt_grid', function($excerpt, $id, $attr) {
	return get_the_content();
},10, 3 );

    Now, regarding your last query, unfortunately, this is not possible. You need to use the functions like wp_trim().

    I would suggest you to please refer to this link link

    I hope this helps.

    Sweta, thanks for your reply.

    As I mentioned, it would be really great to have the option to choose between showing the excerpt or the content. And also to retain the HTML format and to be able to control the count of words.

    Maybe in a future version you can extend the excerpt options in the Post grid and the Post Masonry…

    Today I found a plugin called Advanced Excerpt.
    Works fine for me now.

    Thanks!
