I want to create a custom excerpt for an education website. It has posts that contains and listing. I want to print the first child of ul and a first child of ol tag from the post.
Currently, I have the following code that can print only the first paragraph.
function wpden_excerpt()
{
global $post;
$output = get_the_content();
$wanted_number_of_paragraph = 1;
$tmp = explode ('</p>', $output);
for ($i = 0; $i < $wanted_number_of_paragraph; ++$i) {
if (isset($tmp[$i]) && $tmp[$i] != '') {
$tmp_to_add[$i] = $tmp[$i];
}
}
$output = implode('</p>', $tmp_to_add) . '</p>';
echo $output;
}
HTML
<p>Once in a blue moon</p>
<p>Meaning</p>
<ul>
<li>not very often</li>
<li>rarely</li>
<li>once after a long time</li>
</ul>
<p>Examples</p>
<ol>
<li>My sister lives in Alaska, so I only see her once in a blue moon.</li>
<li>Once in a blue moon, there's an issue I can't resolve.</li>
<li>That company puts on a good performance only once in a blue moon.</li>
</ol>
Now I want to print something like that:
<p>
<b>Meaning:</b> not very often<br /> <!-- Content from first <li> of first <ul> -->
<b>Example:</b> My sister lives in Alaska, so I only see her once in a blue moon. <!-- Content from first <li> of first <ol> -->
</p>
I've tried a lot, but I am not getting succeeded. Plz help!
