Separating HTML and Images in Excerpts Setting

First of all, the reason why it works the way it does is because other people asked for it. They wanted the ability to strip all html (everything, links, images, etc.) from the excerpt. That is why if you turn this to YES, all html is stripped away.

I’m not sure what you mean by “default thumb” so I can’t say where this is coming from.

My theme has a default thumb setting if no other image is available. So when I had some new posts come in after I checked the no html/no image setting I was getting the default thumb on all of them.

I deleted all of these posts, and also turned off the default thumb feature in my theme.

And sure, I understand what you are saying regarding stripping ALL the html. I was getting the html markup in my mouseovers….and this is what I wanted to be free of because it looks nasty.

While other people may want to strip everything…that is entirely a matter of choice…esp. when all I wanted to do was to remove the html markup from the mouseovers.

I like the plugin a lot…and it works well. But this all or nothing setting is a deal breaker.

Regarding the default thumb…I would guess that my theme is overriding the plugin settings.

I have also noticed that I changed the wording in the read more area but it has not changed on any of the new posts…nor the existing ones(which I could understand not happenning…but the new posts I do not see why the read more text is not the new text that I updated)

I’m closing this thread since the person who asked the question had no patience in letting me respond.
