First, I would suggest that you combine your p and a tags into one line, like so: $text = strip_tags($text, ‘<p><a>’); Second, the remove_filter and add_filter should go in your functions.php file, not content.php…..move those lines to just below the $text = strip_tags….. I don’t think you need the line that has $main_content = apply_filters … Read more
Try this: http://pippinspages.com/tutorials/better-wordpress-post-excerpt-revamped/
I had installed the “Facebook Comments for WordPress” plugin. This plugin attaches a filter to the_content();. The filter contains the line wp_reset_query();. Commenting this out fixes the problem (this is sub-optimal though, because, now the client will be unable to update the plugin).
First, I wouldn’t modify the string/word length of the content. Semantically, you’re dealing with an excerpt, so let’s focus on that. Second, to limit the number of words returned for the excerpt, simply filter excerpt_length: <?php function wpse52673_filter_excerpt_length( $length ) { // Return (integer) value for // word-length of excerpt return 150; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, … Read more
You need to use the_content instead of the_excerpt when you display your ‘single’ post. If you would post your code, you might get a more detailed answer.
I’m going to give you a hard-coded solution to this problem, rather than using a plugin. If you’re heart is set on a plugin that is fine – but this short code is rather simple and hopefully helpful for your purposes. This code is basically just adding a CSS class to a shortcode. First, deactivate … Read more
If you’re video embeds are always the same, I like the solution proposed by 5wpthemes, but if you want to avoid having to use a custom field ( and more specifically, remembering to do it), you could also try the code below ( which also requires the code to be very similar in every post … Read more
Your answer definitely falls within the realm of AJAX. If you are using a form, try setting the onsubmit eventListener equal to return false; (plus any other needed attributes) like so: <form onsubmit=”return false;”> Then you send a post and parse it with PHP and depending on your desired effect, and the input of the … Read more
With WordPress 4.2.2 I’m using the following (admittedly fragile) method to search excerpts as well as the content and title without a plugin. This is the relevant snippet from functions.php. add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘custom_posts_where’); function custom_posts_where($where) { if (is_search()) { $where = preg_replace( “/(\w+).post_title LIKE (‘%.*?%’)/”, “$1.post_title LIKE $2) OR ($1.post_excerpt LIKE $2”, $where); } return $where; … Read more
your code is not wrong. However, in my opinion, it would be better to handle the task in a slightly different way. Usage In your functions.php: /* This function returns the related posts in an array of objects. You can set how many items you want retrieve.If not set, the number of items will be … Read more
