Basically if I enter content into the excerpt area for a post, I would like to be able to include html and shortcodes in the nectar_excerpt that appears. It uses this code to display:
echo '<div class="excerpt">';
echo nectar_excerpt( $excerpt_length );
echo '</div>';

Is that something I can enable using some code in my child theme's function.php file, etc.?
Thankyou!

Hey Again,

Yes, you can override the original function via a child theme as per your requirements.

Path: themes\\salient\\nectar\\helpers\\blog.php .

See the original code below:

if ( ! function_exists( 'nectar_excerpt' ) ) {
    function nectar_excerpt( $limit ) {
        if ( has_excerpt() ) {
            $the_excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
            $the_excerpt = preg_replace( '/\[[^\]]+\]/', '', $the_excerpt );  // strip shortcodes, keep shortcode content
            return wp_trim_words( $the_excerpt, $limit );
        } else {
            $the_content = get_the_content();
            $the_content = preg_replace( '/\[[^\]]+\]/', '', $the_content );  // strip shortcodes, keep shortcode content
            return wp_trim_words( $the_content, $limit );
        }
    }
}

Thanks.
