The reason is the following check in the wp_trim_words() function: if ( count( $words_array ) > $num_words ) { array_pop( $words_array ); $text = implode( $sep, $words_array ); $text = $text . $more; } else { $text = implode( $sep, $words_array ); } You can therefore try the following: add_filter( ‘wp_trim_words’, function( $text, $num_words, $more … Read more
I think you can use the get_extended( $post ) function; that returns an array with different parts of the content. See this example which works inside the Loop: $content_arr = get_extended( get_the_content() ); var_dump( $content_arr ); echo $content_arr[‘main’]; //Display the part before the more tag
Use wp_trim_words function to limit the content to a certain number of words and returns the trimmed text. Example use of wp_trim_words function. <?php $content = get_the_content(); $trimmed_content = wp_trim_words( $content, 50, NULL ); echo $trimmed_content; ?> So I added wp_trim_words function in your code to get 50 words after <!– more –>. <?php $after_more … Read more
I would just get the raw content from $post->post_content, strip the <!–more–> and then do whatever you need with the result. Just remember, $post->post_content and get_the_content() both return unfiltered text, if you need filtered content, simply apply the the_content filter to the result from those two results EXAMPLE inside the LOOP global $post; $unfiltered_content = … Read more
I see several things that may be contributing to your issue. First, you’re using a custom page template to display the blog posts index, instead of using home.php as specified by the Template Hierarchy. That might be a problem, because the <!–more–> tag doesn’t work on singular pages, and since you’re doing funky things with … Read more
using: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content#Overriding_Archive.2FSingle_Page_Behavior and the $strip_teaser parameter: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content#Usage in single.php, replace <?php the_content(); ?> with: <?php if( strpos(get_the_content(), ‘<span id=”more-‘) ) : ?> <div class=”before-more”> <?php global $more; $more=0; the_content(”); $more=1; ?> </div> <?php endif; ?> <?php the_content(”, true); ?>
I actually never got to add this section to my answer you are referring to. To remove the read more link from the excerpt is quite easy, you just need to compare $count with $excerpt_length. $count will always be between 0 and the value assigned to $excerpt_length. So what we want to do here is … Read more
What (exactly) happens When calling the_content() inside your template, you are able to call it without any parameters. This means, that the function already has the defaults of null for both arguments: The “more” link text and the boolean switch that allows you to strip teaser content before the “more” link text. The the_content() function … Read more
The problem with what you’re trying to do is that you split a block type html element <p>. In your example you effectively have <p><div></p></div>, which is simply no good. So you cannot mix <p> and <div> in this way. You can, however use a combination of paragraphs and classes: <p>Text</p><p class=”hide-from-here”>More text</p> Where it … Read more
Quite simply put: there is no built in function that does the same thing as your code above. Bonus content: More tag tricks
