The Advanced Excerpt plugin offers the_advanced_excerpt() for customisation, take a look here. The layouts you want to achieve are basically depending on your css, you have to declare the rules for them depending on the body of each template (home and blog). For adding body classes take a look at the codex, if your theme … Read more
When there is <!–more–> tag inserted in post, this post will be truncated on lists pages. You can use global $more variable to make WordPress think it’s single page though. Here is your modified source: <?php query_posts(‘cat=1&paged=’.get_query_var(‘paged’)); ?> <?php global $more; $prev_more = $more; $more = 1; if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> … Read more
You code works where the function the_excerpt is used. It does not work when get_the_excerpt is used, which does not apply the the_excerpt filter. It applies get_the_excerpt instead. Using get_the_excerpt will cause the filter to apply to both the cases since the_excerpt() uses get_the_excerpt(). Automatically generated excerpt content is a different thing since it is … Read more
To get a link around only part of the excerpt content you will need a filter on get_the_excerpt similar to the following: function dummy_excerpt_filter($excerpt) { // manipulate the excerpt return $excerpt; } add_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’,’dummy_excerpt_filter’); The problem with that is that the // manipulate the excerpt part means using regex on your excerpt content, which can be … Read more
If $att is a numeric post ID, then try this: $attachment = get_post( $att ); echo( $attachment->post_excerpt ); has_excerpt() takes a post ID, but the post ID isn’t an object. You have to get the attachment using get_post(), then get the excerpt from there.
I have a custom except function I use all the time, it will cut off in the middle of a sentence, but it works great. Just drop this baby into your functions.php and then <?php the_excerpt_truncate(100); ?> just change the 100 to your desired character limit. // THE EXCERPT MAX CHAR function the_excerpt_truncate($charlength) { $excerpt … Read more
Put the following code into functions.php: // TRUNCK STRING TO SHORT THE STRINGS function trunck_string($str = “”, $len = 150, $more=”true”) { if ($str == “”) return $str; if (is_array($str)) return $str; $str = strip_tags($str); $str = trim($str); // if it’s les than the size given, then return it if (strlen($str) <= $len) return $str; … Read more
The problem is the shortcode (just like any other shortcode) is displayed when the_content() is used to display the post content, and normally themes do this in single template. In themes, normally, insted of print the content is used the_excerpt() that strips out html and shortcodes. Sure you can edit your category archive to use … Read more
I figured it out myself and it worked. Here is the code if anyone need any help. $the_query = new WP_Query(‘page_id=1’) ; if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post(); the_title(); the_content(); the_excerpt(); } } else { // no posts found } wp_reset_postdata(); Edit: This is working because the_content() and the_excerpt() have … Read more
You could try something like the second option, but I think it would be overkill. Instead, just write your own custom analog to wp_trim_excerpt() (the function that applies the excerpt_length and excerpt_more filters to the excerpt), like so: function custom_excerpt( $new_length = 20, $new_more=”…”, $strip = false ) { // Start with the content $text … Read more
