If you’re using auto-generated excerpts, then all shortcodes will be removed (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/): An auto-generated excerpt will also have all shortcodes and tags removed. It is trimmed down to a word-boundary and the default length is 55 words. For languages in which words are (or can be) described with single characters (ie. East-Asian languages) the word-boundary … Read more
get_the_excerpt() is not working as expected – returns wrong text
You just need to set the first argument of the_content() to an empty string: <?php the_content( ” ); ?> If you don’t pass an argument it will use the default, which is a link with the text “(more…)”, but by passing an empty string, the empty string (i.e. nothing) gets displayed instead.

I asked to author theme. It was by filter from functions.php
Error when adding excerpt to the content through functions.php
Allow HTML in Excerpts in Elementor
Even though this is specific for OceanWP, the solution is plain WordPress. Add these two lines to the end of your functions.php to render the shortcodes in both the_excerpt() and get_the_excerpt(). add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’ ); add_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’);
One approach is: //… // this is the resulted paragraph without the enclosing <p> and </p> $first_para_inner_text = $matches [1] [1]; // <– the index changed $link = get_permalink($post); // rebuilding the p $first_para=”<p>” . $first_para_inner_text . ‘ <a href=”‘.$link.'”>Read More</a></p>’; echo $first_para; Not tested, but you may get the idea. Just need to modify/change … Read more
I know toscho doesn’t like this very much, but anyway: Converted the input args to an array: function utf8_truncate( $args = array( ‘string’ => null, ‘max_chars’ => 200, ‘append’ => “\xC2\xA0…” ) ) { $args[‘string’] = strip_tags( $args[‘string’] ); $args[‘string’] = html_entity_decode( $args[‘string’], ENT_QUOTES, ‘utf-8’ ); // \xC2\xA0 is the no-break space $args[‘string’] = trim( … Read more
The simple way to do this is to define the height/width in CSS of a container, and then apply a trim on the excerpt. To change default excerpt length add this to you functions.php function new_excerpt_length($length) { return 100; // change this to how many any characters you want } add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘new_excerpt_length’); Manually controlling the … Read more
