* Hello Moondrop,
* and thank you for your reply. No, that’s not the problem. The problem is the
href inside that div. Because double quotes, it messes up the code. If I delete
the link from WP inside content post, everything works fine.
* So I need a solution for double quotes or single, to let WP or PHP know to ignore
them or something like that.
* Hope you understand now.
* Thank you!

* > I am echoing the content (get_the_content())
* I am not sure why you are doing like this way, instead you can simply call
* ```
echo get_the_content();
```

* I am not sure you guys understand my real problem. Echoing the content -> echo
get_the_content(), this is what I am already doing.
* The only problem is that the double quotes from href messes up the code, or I
guess so.

* Hi georgecj, are you able to post your php code with the `get_the_content()`
and the WYSIWYG code you are pulling from `get_the_content()`? The screenshot
you provided only gives us part of the picture so it is difficult see what is
causing the quote issue you mentioned.

* Hello Moondrop,
* sorry I was away, I had no internet :D.
* Anyway, here is the code from php:
* ```
```
* And here is the WYSIWYG code from post:
`There was an interesting article in
Forbes in September about
the ‘silver wave’ in China’s outbound tourism. In the last 50 years, the life
expectancy in China has improved from 43 years to 76, not only the older generation
live long and are fitter, they have also got more money to spend.`
* Together with the screenshot from first post, I think they are enough for you
to understand what’s my problem.
* Thank you a lot !

* Hi georgecj, thanks for posting your full code!
* I can see now where the broken link is occurring. Your ‘mb_strimwidth’ function
is trimming your link too early and causing it not to close correctly. You can
see that in your imgur screenshot where you have “…” added inside of your link.
* If you remove the ‘mb_strimwidth’ it should fix your problem.
* However, I assume want the text to be retricted to a certain length. I recommend
looking into using the ‘get_the_excerpt’ function and an excerpt plugin that
allows html in excerpts. Those plugins will have code that identifies broken
tags, from text trimming, and close them.
* Here’s a plugin I often use: [https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-excerpt/](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-excerpt/)

* Hello Moondrop,
* now I saw my problem as well, did not think at first that should be the problem,
but hey. I’ve used this snippet [http://stackoverflow.com/a/10173268/2595273](http://stackoverflow.com/a/10173268/2595273)
and worked. So this solved my problem, thank to your idea.
* I really appreciate your help and thanks a lot,
