The proper hooks for modifying the post excerpt are the ones you already tried: get_the_excerpt and the_excerpt, and WordPress actually uses the former one to generate an excerpt from the full post content, if there’s no custom or manually-specified excerpt for the post — below is the relevant code in wp-includes/default-filters.php: add_filter( ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘wp_trim_excerpt’, 10, … Read more
So we already resolved the issue via the comments, but I thought I should explain something: has_excerpt() returns ! empty( $post->post_excerpt ) if the post has a custom/manual excerpt, so if the function is returning true when it should be false, then it’s likely because the length of the excerpt in the database is > … Read more
IF HOT NEWS IS A TAG (FIRST QUESTION ASKED FOR TAGS) You gotta use a WP query where you query posts which have the tag “hot news” and order the result in descending order of the post ID, and then return 1 post, sth like this: $query_args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘your_post_type’, ‘tax_query’ => array( … Read more
That label is a translatable text and its translation is retrieved using wp.i18n.__(), so you can change the text like you could in PHP via the gettext filter, except that in JS/Gutenberg, you’d use i18n.gettext. Working example: // Define our filter callback. function myPluginGettextFilter( translation, text, domain ) { if ( text === ‘Write an … Read more
The way you are using the filter is wrong. Your function should accept the excerpt as an argument: function custom_excerpt( $excerpt ) { Then you don’t need to do the get_the_excerpt() call, as you already have the value you want to edit. Furthermore, if you are replacing each word, one by one, you could hurt … Read more
the_excerpt() function bascially echo(es) the get_the_excerpt() function output, which in turns wraps the $post->post_excerpt value in html <p> tags. So you can either strip the html markup, <p class=”myclass”><?= wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_excerpt(), true ) ?></p> or, if you have access to the $post object simply, <p class=”myclass”><?= $post->post_excerpt ?></p>
By default, the_excerpt(), doesn’t uses the post/page content wysiwyg, it has its own textarea, that by default is not visible, you need to enable it first via screen options. After you checked this checkbox you can scroll down to the bottom of the post/page and see a new textarea, this is the excerpt. If you … Read more
Hi @janoChen: Are you sure that code it running and not some other code? I just traced through the code and the only way it’s going to do that is if you have a plugin or code in your theme that is hooking one of the following hooks: ‘the_excerpt’, ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘wp_trim_excerpt’ or possibly removed the … Read more
The only custom form field that you seem to be printing out is a text input named “excerpt”. In your processor script you are checking for a $_POST var named “_ideas_quicknote”. Since it is not actually sent in the POST request, your processor will never see it. Please try the following: <?php print “\n” . … Read more
the_content() and the_excerpt(), unlike their ‘get_’ brothers will process the content through some functions, one of them is wpautop() that will add p tags for you. To get the same formatting for both excerpt and content: if ( has_excerpt() ) { the_excerpt(); } else { the_content(__(‘Read more’)); }
