excerpt text linked to the featured page ?

Hi @panteror,

You have a number of options.

1st, don’t forget about the read more link. I doubt that’s exactly what you’re going for, but it may be helpful and it’s off by default.

2nd, the fpw_excerpt filter allows you to write replace or modify the excerpt. I haven’t tested this, but this might work for you:

function fpw_link_the_excerpt( $excerpt) {
    $new_excerpt = '<a href="' . get_the_permalink() . '">';
    $new_excerpt .= $excerpt;
    $new_excerpt .= '</a>';
    return $excerpt;
}

Test and use at your own risk ??

Finally, you might consider creating a new template or modifying an existing one. If you really want the excerpt linked, you might modify a template so the entire widget is just wrapped in a single link.

Good luck!

Hi,
I tested the fpw_excerpt filter in function.php, i add the line but it’s not working.

I will try to understand the template system but it seems to be hard for my knowledge.

Thanks

Sorry. That code was incomplete. Add this before it:

add_filter( 'fpw_excerpt', 'fpw_link_the_excerpt' );

Not working neither

add_filter( 'fpw_excerpt', 'fpw_link_the_excerpt' );

function fpw_link_the_excerpt( $excerpt) {
    $new_excerpt = '<a href="' . get_the_permalink() . '">';
    $new_excerpt .= $excerpt;
    $new_excerpt .= '</a>';
    return $excerpt;
}

It’s in the function.php of my theme, right ?

Dumb mistake on my part. Last line should be:

return $new_excerpt;

I tested and that works.

Perfect Thanks
