Solution: News Manager & External Commenting Working Together

[mvlcek]

Another issue when configuring NewsManager to turn GS into a blog is that the excerpts on the news page (i.e. whatever is configured to be the front page) ignore formatting tags, resulting in a wall-of-text for longer excerpts. To address this, open the NewsManager file /inc/functions.php and remove this line from the nm_create_slug function:

Code:

$content = strip_tags($content);

This will create invalid HTML code in most cases.
