Hello,

 

Our shopify blog post page is giving the error message:

Broken HTML has been detected in your theme's 
sections/featured-blog.liquid file. Check that there are no missing or extra HTML tags present.

I've looked through the code and don't see any missing </> tags. The first page of our blog post is formatted incorrectly while the subsequent pages are fine. Any suggestions?

Hey @UNsupplements,

 

The code you provided appears to be correct, and I couldn't find any missing or extra HTML tags. However, the issue might be caused by the content within the `{{ article.content }}` variable.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

 

  1. Check the content of the blog posts that are causing the formatting issue. Make sure there are no broken or unclosed HTML tags within the content itself.
  2. If the issue persists, try removing the `truncatewords:14` filter from `{{ article.content }}` in the code. This will display the full content of the blog post and help determine if the truncation is causing the formatting problem.
  3. If the formatting issue is resolved by removing the `truncatewords:14` filter, you can experiment with different values or remove the filter altogether based on your desired content length.

 

Remember to back up your theme files before making any changes to ensure you can revert to the previous version if needed!
