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
Use the excerpt_more filter hook: function mytheme_excerpt_more( $text ) { $text=”…”; return $text; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘mytheme_excerpt_more’ );
Why not just switch out the_excerpt for the_content in your theme? Or create a child theme and override the relevant files. http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
If you add support for Post Thumbnails, you can use its own function instead of get_post_meta(), see codex for more information – http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails#Function_Reference Use following code in your theme: <div class=”postcont> <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(); } the_excerpt(); ?> </div> EDIT And using the OP’s code: $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 5, ‘category’ … Read more

wordPress does this by default. you can either use a plugin such as: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-excerpt/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-excerpt-re-reloaded/ or write your own functions to remove the default filters from the_excerpt() such as: http://bacsoftwareconsulting.com/blog/index.php/wordpress-cat/how-to-preserve-html-tags-in-wordpress-excerpt-without-a-plugin/
To show excerpts on home page and all archive pages, open content.php and modify the following line: <?php the_content( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘twentyeleven’ ) ); ?> with this: <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Change line 9 to: $content = get_the_excerpt(); the_excerpt() echoes the excerpt. get_the_excerpt() returns it.
Assuming your content is in the variable $content you would begin by removing all html tags using wp_strip_all_tags: $new_content = wp_strip_all_tags( $content ); Then you will want to trim that to 200 characters using substr: $new_content = substr( $new_content, 0, 200 ); To retrieve the YouTube video, you’ll need to use preg_match: preg_match( ‘/(<iframe.*?src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/154352/(.*?youtube.*?)”.*?<\/iframe>)/’, $html, … Read more
The easiest course of action would be to write manual excerpts instead of having the system generate them. Second, would be to wrap your “content that isn’t an excerpt” in a shortcode. If you look at the wp_trim_excerpt() function, which generates excerpts from post content, one of the first thing it does is strip shortcodes. … Read more
