No Excerpt P Plugin

 By: Ben Partch » On: August 16th, 2007

A few months back I wanted a way to remove the <p></p> tags from around “the_excerpt” when it is displayed in one of my Wordpress blogs.

So I asked Amit who knows just about everything Wordpress does, and/or what can be done with it. It took him about 30 seconds to come up with a nifty little plug in that does just what I wanted.

Thanks, Amit!

He did not seem as excited with it as I was, but I see that quite a few people have been asking for this same request at the Wordpress support forums so I have decided to just create a page for it in hopes that maybe others will find it as useful, as I have.

Download
no-excerpt-p.zip

Installation

1. Unzip
2. Upload to: http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/
3. Goto: http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
4. Activate the plugin

Your good to go.

Of course, if you want the <p> tags around some “excerpts” and not around others you can always add the tags manually.

<p><?php the_excerpt() ?></p>
