Excerpt problems for posts with latests-posts plugin

    Hi!

    I’m currently using rookie theme and the plugin wp-latests-posts to display my news with featured image on the startpage.

    The issue I have is that the title of the news gets limited to around 25 characters, I want it to display the full title text.

    I did solve this on another theme by adding this to functions.php:

    function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 20;
    }
    add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );
    ?>

    This does not work in rookie theme ??

    Anyone who has a clue how to solve it?

    Best regards

    Hi!

    Thanks for reaching out and I’m sorry for the trouble.

    We do’nt have a custom excerpt lenght in our theme so probably that was generated by WordPress.

    What you could do to test this, is creating manual excerpts. You can either use the MORE tag or use the excerpt field (if you don’t see that click the top right corner and enable the excerpt field for posts).

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply!

    I tested manual excerpts without luck, how do I use the MORE tag?

    Hi!

    The manual excerpts should work at all times. Would you mind pasting the link to your website here, so we can check it out?

    As for the more tag, please check this:

    Thanks!

    The news with pictures in the middle, the titles (text) just gets cut off.

    If you check my other page, which does not use rookie theme, you can see how the title is full with the excerpt function added.

    Hi!

    That’s awesome, I’m glad it’s working now.

    As for the links, we can’t edit them. I’m not sure if you are able to edit them yourself. Otherwise the forum managers can do that for you, if you want we can tag them here

    Thanks

    *Looks. Removes modlook tag.*

    No. That’s only done in extreme cases, there’s no security issue with those links and search engine hits are never extreme.
