Excerpt and blocks group

Hi @amedic

You need to add the below-mentioned function in your theme’s function.php file.

function first_paragraph() {
    global $post, $posts;
    $post_content = $post->post_content;
    $post_content = apply_filters('the_content', $post_content);
    $post_content = str_replace('</p>', '', $post_content);
    $paras = explode('<p>', $post_content);
    array_shift($paras);

    return $paras[0]; 
}

You need to call this function echo first_paragraph() wherever you want to display the first paragraph of the content.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Hi @ravivaddweb

thanks for the help, but unfortunately nothing is returned.

Hi @amedic,

Can you please let me know did you `echo first_paragraph()’ this function?

Regards,

After echoing the function the whole block group is returned. Block group consists of h2, image, custom html and paragraph.
