You are trying to use the_title() and the_excerpt() functions outside the wordpress loop, therefore, they will not work. I suggest you try something like : $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 12, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘offset’ => 1); $query = new WP_Query($args); while($query->have_posts()){ $query->the_post(); // the_excerpt() will now work as expected }
So, as iguanarama pointed out, the first step is to make sure that the theme you are using uses the_excerpt() to show the excerpt. You’ll want to go check in your archive.php file how it is displayed. In my theme it was using the file ‘template-parts/content-front-c.php’. Then go to this file and see what is … Read more

I’m not sure why there’s a non-breaking space being added to the front of your excerpt. It would be best to find out what is putting that there. But in the meantime, you can add this to your theme functions.php ( or a simple plugin ) and it should take care of it. //* Remove … Read more
You can use the_excerpt() instead of the_content Reference link for filter your excerpt : show-first-paragraph Or you can also do this by callback function inside your loop using the function to modify the_content as below: function get_first_paragraph(){ global $post; $str = wpautop( get_the_content() ); $str = substr( $str, 0, strpos( $str, ‘</p>’ ) + 4 … Read more
Try using one of the available shop loop item actions and remove call to WooCommerce template function woocommerce_template_single_excerpt using remove_action(). woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item (before thumbnail) woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title (before title) woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title (before price) woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title (before “Add to cart” button) woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item (after “Add to cart” button) These actions are called in woocommerce/templates/content-product.php.

The Codilight theme is bypassing the usual the_excerpt with their own version: inc/extras.php +26: if ( ! function_exists( ‘codilight_lite_excerpt’ ) ) : /** * Get the except content limit by characters. * * @param string $characters * @return string */ function codilight_lite_excerpt( $characters ){ // $characters = 160; $excerpt = get_the_content(); $excerpt = preg_replace(” (\[.*?\])”,”,$excerpt); … Read more
You probably have the excerpt set to hidden in the edit screen. Open your post for editing, click the Screen Options in the top right corner of screen, and then check the Excerpt box. After that, you can see the excerpt as a box in the edit post screen.
You can try this one: $string ='<p>LOREM IPSUM!… <a href=”http://localhost/post/3″ class=”read-more”>Read More</a></p>’; $string = preg_replace(‘/<a[^>]*(.*?)<\/a>/s’, ”, $string); echo wp_strip_all_tags($string); //return LOREM IPSUM!…

The problem is that wp_trim_excerpt() uses the content of the global $post object, which is set in the loop, regardless of any ID passed to … Read more
