[Plugin: The Excerpt re-reloaded] This plugin does nothing

Same issue,

nothing appears in the dashboard area.

Not at “extra”, “plugins” or any other tab.

Ive tried working with the given shortcode:

<?php the_excerpt_rereloaded('10','More','all','plain','no'); ?>

But ive no idea where to place it…

wondering where the settings are myself. @ramzii – you’d use the template tag anywhere you were using the_excerpt() but i feel it defeats the purpose of the plugin if you have to modify all your templates.

If you go into your themes folder, i.e. blog/wp-content-/themes/default and then open up your index.php file, you will see (approx line 40) the following code or similar

<? php the_excerpt(); ?>

change this to something like

<?php the_excerpt_rereloaded('80','More','all','plain','no'); ?>

And that should do it, save it and upload it to your website.

I have a similar thing running on https://www.apograph.com/blog

The plugin does work. It is very useful because you can add different excerpt lengths to different part of your site.
