Non-static Excerpt's length?

  • Hello Alex

    Awesome theme. I only have one thing at the moment that stops me from migrating to it. In my current theme I have dynamic excerpt length, which is controlled by MORE tag. Is it possible to add such functionality to your theme?

    Excerpt control: Static or Per-post (w/ MORE tag)

    Thanks!

  • Hi there! Thanks.

    In content.php/content-featured.php, if you change:

    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    To:

    <?php the_content(); ?>

    You should get the more-tag cut off, you may need to style the more link though.

    Another method is to use the custom excerpt box, that way you can write whatever you want as excerpt, and it won’t show up on single post page.

    Thanks. Decided to begin using excerpts. Never paid any attention to them before. Would be nice to have an option in theme to have it like this

    Manual Excerpt (excerpt field) =>IF NOT SET=> More Tag =>IF NOT SET=> Automatic Excerpt (using word count)

    I think this is the most obvious method to display/automate the excerpts and make everyone happy. Not sure how complex it is though.

    Great theme, like it more and more… customizing for the second day.
    I can do Russian translation, if required.

    Cheers
    Tim
