You should try this: function replace_tag($string){ $search = array(‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); $replace = array(‘<h2>’, ‘</h2>’); echo str_replace($search, $replace, $string); return $string; } add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘replace_tag’); or this: function replace_tag($string){ $replace = array( ‘<p>’ => ‘<h2>’, ‘</p>’ => ‘</h2>’ ); $string = str_replace(array_keys($replace), $replace, $string); return $string; } add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘replace_tag’);
Probably it’s not the best approach because it requires introducing a global variable but here’s the idea: In Posts_in_Page plugin there are 2 filters, one is fired before output of these items posts_in_page_pre_loop, and one after output end posts_in_page_post_loop. So the plan is to create global variable which will be set to true when you … Read more

according to the documentation, it is more correct to change the length of the excerpt using add_filter: add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, function(){ return 10; }); you can make your own function based on this, like this: add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘new_excerpt’, 10, 1); function new_excerpt( $lenth ){ return $length; }); … apply_filters( ‘excerpt_length’, 150 );
If it only breaks when the excerpt is empty, then I would check for the excerpt before outputting it. <?php if ( ! empty( get_the_excerpt() ) : ?> // test for the excerpt <?php echo esc_html( get_the_excerpt() ); ?> // escape the excerpt in case there is html added <?php endif; ?>
You can hook the get_the_excerpt filter with parse_blocks to extract the content of your post. add_filter( ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘se378694_default_excerpt’, 10, 2 ); function se378694_default_excerpt( string $post_excerpt, WP_Post $post ):string { if ( empty( $post_excerpt ) ) { $blocks = parse_blocks( $post->post_content ); // check if the first block matches the type of content you want for … Read more
