Post Display Options

Hello Milton,

I’m not sure what exactly is your issue, so can you please provide some explanatory screenshots?

You can upload screenshots to your WordPress Media Library and share a link, or you can use one of the online services (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).

Kind Regards, Roman.

Thank you so much for the response!

This is the link to the screenshot of the description that presents as a jumbled paragraph: https://thecollegexchange.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Wordpress_Post-Picture_Jumbled-Description.png

However, when you click on the post itself, you are led to a page that presents the description separated as preferred: https://thecollegexchange.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Wordpress_Post-Picture_Proper-Description-Format.png

My goal is to get the information in the description box to look the same on the homepage as it does when you click the post.

Is there anything I can change to make sure the description box information is separated by the different post fields?

Hello Milton,

You can try to edit a post and enter something like this into the Excerpt input field:

<p>First line.</p>
<ul>
    <li>First list item</li>
    <li>Second list item</li>
<ul>

Please feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.

Kind Regards, Roman.

Hello Roman,

Can I enter this code somewhere in the theme editor? If so, which section?

I see a (single.php) section, do I do it there? I’m also trying to find the Excerpt input field.

Best,
Milton

As another point, the “Twenty Nineteen” Theme will display the description box information as separated by post-fields on the home page and separate post pages, in case another reference could help clarify my situation. But I really love the Alizee theme, so I want to make it work as much as I can. Thank you again for all of the help thus far, love what you guys do.

Hello Milton,

Here is the Excerpt input field:

Thank you for this! Have you guys recently updated the Alizee theme? I’m trying to find this section, but I am having no luck. As another note, with this platform, other people can log-in and create their own posts. Does this code allow me to insert into the excerpt one time and then it will be fixed for all former and future posts to come?

This is a screenshot of my theme editor section:

As an update, I found the section and inputted the code. However, it didn’t display the description information as separated by post field. Even if this solution worked for this one post, I’m afraid the solution wouldn’t help solve the issue as a whole because then I would have to manually insert this code into each post that has and will be created. I was wondering if there was a universal code I could potentially add to the theme editor that could account for this?

Hello Milton,

I don’t think that there is an easy way to do it properly, unfortunately. That would require PHP template coding.

Kind Regards, Roman.

Got it. Thank you so much for the help! I think I was able to figure something out by using an “Excerpt Post Field” that presents well on the home page and using “Custom Post Fields” which present well on the post-specific pages.

OK, you are welcome!

Kind Regards, Roman.
