I’ve found a workaround. $content = get_post_field( ‘post_content’, $latest_post[“ID”] ); $content = strip_tags($content); $content = wp_trim_words($content); and then just echo $content instead of the excerpt
Your query is structured a little weird. $my_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5 ) ); if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) { while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post(); // Your desired template code } // Close while() // Restore original Post Data wp_reset_postdata(); } // Close if() This should be all you need to set … Read more
wpautop has got to be my least favorite part of working with WordPress. Just when everything else is working, it sticks its fingers into everything… The problem has to do with filter priority, as you noted earlier. In the case of the excerpt, we’re interested in the filter get_the_excerpt. I haven’t been able to figure … Read more
No, it is not possible. you will want to use WP_Query() Here is the Codex Article on that. Example: <?php // Query All Pages $my_query = new WP_Query( ‘post_type=page’ ); // The Loop while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); echo ‘<h2>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</h2><p>’ . get_the_excerpt() . ‘</p>’; endwhile; ?>
Using the PHP strip_tags() function should clean out the unwanted HTML elements. <?php echo strip_tags( $post->post_excerpt ); ?>

I’m sure if you did some more research you would find this as it’s been asked many times before. If you just want all expert to return the value of 15 then you have to add something like this to your functions.php // Customize excerpt word count length function custom_excerpt_length() { return 15; } add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, … Read more
It looks like your index.php file calls the content-page.php file. The code you are looking to change is probably in the content-page.php file. The key is this line: get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘page’ ); It is directing WordPress to load content-page.php
The following code will query the “blog” category for the latest three published posts and loop through these results to display the excerpt from each. $args = array( ‘category_name’ => ‘blog’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ); $blog_posts = new WP_Query( $args ); if ( $blog_posts->have_posts() ): while ( $blog_posts->have_posts() ): $blog_posts->the_post(); // Do … Read more
