    Hi,

    excuse me but my english is not the best.

    My titles always have the following pattern:
    scientific name (trivial name)

    I want to surround the first two, rarely the first three words with the HTML tag em.
    scientific name (trivial name)

    My idea
    template:(<em>[+iptc:2#105,str_replace( '(', '</em> (' )+])

    But I get the following error
    ERROR: Test; no closing parenthesis

    Thanks for your report – your English is fine.

    I have reproduced your issue on my test system. It is a defect in the code that parses templates containing parentheses within quotes.

    I will work on a fix and post an update here when I have progress to report. Thank you for finding and reporting the MLA defect, and for your interest in the plugin.

    I have uploaded a new MLA Development Version dated 20200706 that contains a fix for this issue. To get the Development Version you can follow the instructions in this earlier topic:

    PHP Warning on media upload with Polylang

    It would be great if you can install the Development Version and let me know how it works for you. I plan to update the MLA production version within a week or so.

    I will leave this topic unresolved for now. Please let me know if you try the Development Version. Thanks for your help and for your interest in the plugin.

    Hello David,

    I’m sorry I was away for a few days.
    Thank you for your quick replies and efforts.

    I currently only get <em> displayed.

    template:(<em>[+iptc:2#105,str_replace( '(', '</em> (' )+])

    Thanks for your update and for taking the time to try out the Development Version.

    I have just run a test on my own system and get the results I expected. In the 2#105 field my sample contains:

    Headline for Butterfly Pattern (with parentheses)

    Using your template in the Media/Assistant Bulk Edit area gives me:

    <em>Headline for Butterfly Pattern </em> (with parentheses)

    If you can post a link to one or more of your own images I can investigate further. You can also try using something like this template to verify the content you are starting with:

    template:Headline is -([+iptc:2#105+])-

    Let me know what you find out.

    Thank you for your wonderful work. I have now re-entered it several times and now it works perfectly. I had done something wrong in handling. Thank you very much again.

    Thanks for the positive feedback and for confirming that the fix is working on your site.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding Content Templates that include parentheses.
