If thumbnail doesn’t exist, show more post content

Hi @sibichan

function mytheme_custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 20;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'mytheme_custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

update your code like this, this will resolve your issue

Thanks

@yogeshyadav20 first check the above frontpage.php. Then read below

I need to show more text if post doesnot have thumbnail. In screenshot here https://i.imgur.com/DavVING.jpg you can see many empty space in a box that doesn’t have thumbnail.

You can modify your code to something like this

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="col-md-4">
    <div class="sok-blog-box">	
        <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
        <figure class="sok-thumb">
        <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
        </figure>
        <?php } ?>

        <div class="sok-blog-summary">	
            <?php
            the_title(
            sprintf( '<h2 class="blog-entry-title"><a href="%s" rel="bookmark">', esc_url( get_permalink() ) ),
            '</a></h2>'
            );
            ?>	
            <?php 
            if(has_post_thumbnail()){
                the_excerpt();    
            }else{
                $text = get_the_content();
                $words = 80;
                $more = ' […]';
                 
                $excerpt = wp_trim_words( $text, $words, $more );
                echo $excerpt;
            }
             ?>

            <?php
            wp_link_pages(
            array(
            'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'understrap' ),
            'after'  => '</div>',
            )
            );
        ?>
        </div>
    </div><!-- .sok-blog-listing -->
</div>

this should work I guess

Thank you @swayamtejwani

How to make a link to the post page in post_thumbnail and default image ?

Here is my code.

<figure class="sok-thumb">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
} else { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/default-image.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
</figure>

this

<figure class="sok-thumb">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
echo '<a href="'.get_the_permalink().'">'.get_the_post_thumbnail().'</a>';
} else { ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/default-image.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
<?php } ?>
</figure>
