Outputting a raw excerpt

Created: 2017.04.17

How to remove those pesky paragraph tags.

The excerpt doesn't allow any HTML formatting, yet it is usually output wrapped in <p> tags:

Formatted

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Result:

<p>My excerpt. </p>

Raw

<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>

Result:

My excerpt.
