WordPress 6.3.2 broke my post excerpts :(

[ad_1]

Hi!
I was tasked with transferring someone else’s site from wix to wordpress, which means that i have little wiggle room to make design and functionality changes, so I’m doing my best to adapt what they had. On the front page, the site should display the recent articles published by the lab’s members like: a picture, their name and the publisher’s name, linking to the article.

[\^ it looked like that on wix])

To make it easier to add more content later, I’m publishing each article as a post, using the custom excerpt to add the author and publisher information. So I formatted it like:

authors <br/>
<a href=”http://link . com”><b>publisher<b/><a/>

and it was working! There was a line break and clicking the publisher’s name took you to the article as it was designed to happen! But last week i updated wordpress to 6.3.2 and the tags don’t work anymore. How can i fix this? Where can i change the code back to how it used to be, or what other way could i make the excerpt link to an outside site?

[\^ looks like that now. I don’t have a screenshot of last week when everything was fine, but the only thing different is the linebreak between \\”author\\” and \\”publisher\\”, and the publisher was in bold letters with a working link to another site])

(Please be as through as possible with the answer, i do not now how to code at all and i’m making things up as i go)
