Hopefully I’m understanding what you want correctly. I think you are going to need to wrap the content itself in a div called something like excerpt_content and make that an inline block that’s aligned to the top. Then you can use the has_post_thumbnail() as a conditional to assign it another class to limit the width … Read more
I believe you just need to add some “elses” into your php, like so: if ( has_post_format( ‘aside’ )) { // do some stuff } elseif ( has_post_format( ‘chat’ )) { // do some other stuff } elseif ( has_post_format( ‘gallery’ )) { // do some other stuff } else { // this isn’t a … Read more
I suspect you’re misusing query_posts(), which is always and only ever intended to modify the Primary Loop. query_posts() is meant for altering the main loop. Once you use query_posts(), your post-related global variables and template tags will be altered. Conditional tags that are called after you call query_posts() will also be altered – this may … Read more
function excerpt($limit) { $excerpt = explode(‘ ‘, get_the_excerpt(), $limit); if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) { array_pop($excerpt); $excerpt = implode(” “,$excerpt).’…’; } else { $excerpt = implode(” “,$excerpt); } $excerpt = preg_replace(‘`\[[^\]]*\]`’,”,$excerpt); return $excerpt; } write below code in your template. <?php echo excerpt(25); ?>
Use: apply_filters( ‘get_the_excerpt’, $post->post_excerpt ) This will fill the excerpt with the first words from post_content when there is no excerpt, because the default filters will take care of that.
Are you aware of the uses of the More Tag? Customizing the Read More shows many uses of variable length teasers with variable link phrases to read more. For example, this markup entered in the Post editor will provide a link with Read the rest of this story in the anchor text. <!–more Read the … Read more
Without seeing the html output for the excerpt thumbnails it is difficult to say why your code is not working. However I would also look into str_replace (http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php) as a possible solution to your problem.
You can pass in HTML formatting within custom excerpts and output it via the_excerpt() or get_the_excerpt() in your template files. Check your template files for additional custom filters added to the_excerpt() or get_the_excerpt() if the HTML formatting is removed anyway.
Use strip_tags() to strip all tags. Pass tags you want to allow as second argument. For you reference http://in2.php.net/strip_tags
Well, I found it: function get_the_excerpt_filter( $excerpt ) { $wordToRemove = “Introduction”; $len = strlen($wordToRemove); if(substr($excerpt, 0, $len) == $wordToRemove){ $excerpt = trim(substr($excerpt, $len)); } return $excerpt; } add_filter( ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘get_the_excerpt_filter’ ); Hope this helps someone else.
