The problem is the difference between the teaser and excerpt which is mistaken one for another in many case. The excerpt_more filter that you are using will change the teaser more text, not the excerpt. The right filter for this is the get_the_excerpt. But it doesn’t change the […] of the excerpt, it gives you … Read more
Following code should do the trick. It takes the excerpt filter and returns the content instead. function wpse189347_excerpt( $excerpt ){ return get_the_content(); } add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpse189347_excerpt’, 10, 1 );
This works. You probably just had a syntax error. function content( $limit ) { global $post; if( has_excerpt() ){ $content = the_excerpt(); } else { $content = explode( ‘ ‘, get_the_content(), $limit ); if ( count($content) >= $limit ) { array_pop( $content ); $content = implode( ” “, $content ); $content = wp_strip_all_tags( $content, true … Read more
Answering my own question. Solved with an if else statement using has_excerpt. if( has_excerpt ( $_post, ID ) ) { $author = sprintf( ‘<a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/224893/%1$s”>Apply</a>’, esc_attr( get_the_excerpt( $_post ) ) ); } else { $author=””; } It only makes sense, really.
Please add below code in theme functions.php remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’ );
Just add this to your child theme’s functions.php file: add_shortcode( ‘output_post_excerpt’, ‘get_the_excerpt’ ); Then use [output_post_excerpt]
Assuming that you want the full post content to appear only on single blog posts, and that you want the post excerpt to appear everywhere else, try something like this inside your Loop in index.php: <?php if ( is_singular() ) { the_content( ‘Read More’ ); } else { the_excerpt(); } ?> Additional Codex reading: the_content() … Read more
general: locate the template for the home page – often index.php – if not see http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy find the_content() (possibly with some parameters in the brackets) and change that to the_excerpt() – http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt specific for Twenty Eleven: index.php points to the template part content.php; in content.php edit this line: <?php if ( is_search() ) : // … Read more
While this was far from clear in the OP at first, I think this might be a good solution. Just make a shortcode to place the excerpt in the body. (This is a bad idea if you want this on every page. This is a good idea if you want it once in a while … Read more
I would keep out of your header.php & either add the following to your functions.php or wrap up as a plugin: add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wpse_71766_seo’ ); /** * Add meta description & keywords for single posts. */ function wpse_71766_seo() { if ( is_single() && $post_id = get_queried_object_id() ) { if ( ! $description = get_post_field( ‘post_excerpt’, … Read more
