Making a link from category page

    Is it possible to make a link from the category page that's using excerpts?

    There's a link in the post, but on the category page the posts show up as excerpts and it strips out the link. Yeah I know some themes will show the entire post and the link, but the themes I'm using shows only the excerpts.

    Thanks

    Check out http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt
    This explains that 'automatic excepts' have html tags stripped out.

    You can avoid this by providing an explicit excerpt as explained in http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt which explains:

    "To add an excerpt to a post, simply write one in the Excerpt field under the post edit box. An excerpt can be as short or as long as you wish. Usually, given its purpose, a couple of sentences is fine."

    have you tried this?

    Thanks but I want to link the other way around, from the excerpt to another page/post. Anyway it's a custom theme that one of the moderators at their forum who's familiar with that particular theme was able to solve.

    Thanks
