Php blog archive template help

Hi, sorry but this is a bit of a last resort since I’ve been looking for about 2 hours and am not really sure what to do :frowning:

I currently have a theme where the template for the blog archive shows excerpts instead of the full post (I figured how to increase the excerpt but the style of the original post is lost)

I think the problem is here:

[php]


<?php echo (function_exists('the_exerpt')) ? get_the_exerpt() : character_limiter(get_the_content(),900,'',true); ?>…


<?php _e('Read more','wisdom_of_life');?>
[/php]

I’ve tried lots of things but haven’t been able to change it so that the original format of the blog post content is kept, I’m sorry I’m so clueless… I really should try learning everything from the ground up instead of my slap dash attempts :frowning: :frowning:

it’s the_excerpt function, and how it works. it strips HTML tags. that means it’s not possible to use the_excerpt as it is AND have the formatting you want. a quick google search gave me this:
