    Lately I have done a lot of Custom Theme for the company i work for and seem to have a problem with Extra paragraph

    tags showing above and below my the_excerpt(); once render in the browser. See code example below:

    *** note: List items a in a the loop ***

    In template file:

  • ID,’product_icon’, true)) { ?>
    “>

    • Displaying in browser:

  • Allow multi-lingual buy…ages from your website.

Does this happen on EVERY post, or just certain ones?

No luck using that method… But

I just found this on the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpautop

Place remove_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’); in the functions file (this remove the unwanted paragraph tags)

Then wrap the_excerpt(); with p tags ( to place the excerpt into a paragraph tag)

This seems to work..

Thanks for your help
