Post Excerpts

Hi,

Sorry, I don’t understand your question? Do you want to have a single (one) column knowledge base?

Guido

Sorry for my english ??
I want to display standart post excerpt near the link in the column.

For example we have one column with posts.
Like this:
– Title Post1
– Title Post2
– Title Post3

Is it possible to make it look like this:
– Title Post1 – Post1 excerpt
– Title Post2 – Post2 excerpt
– Title Post3 – Post3 excerpt

Hi,

Aha I understand.. So post title with the excerpt on the right side. But also 1 column?

For that you should make some changes to plugin itself. If you want I can explain how to do this.

Unfortunately you will loose all changes again in case of a plugin update.

Guido

Yes, post title with the excerpt on the right side. 1 column.

Can you explain how to make this changes in plugin files? This will be great.

Hi,

1) open file vskb-shortcodes and go to line 44.
Look for: include 'vskb-list.php';
Change into: include 'vskb-list-one.php';

2) create a new PHP file called “vskb-list-one” and paste the contents of file “vskb-list”.
3) add this underneath line 41:

$return .= ' - ';
$return .= '<span class="vskb-post-excerpt">'.get_the_excerpt( $single_post->ID ).'</span>';

4) via the Customizer you can add custom CSS for the excerpt, example:

.vskb-post-excerpt {color:#333;}

That’s it!

If the excerpt is too long for you, you can change it via the excerpt_length() filter.

This excerpt feature might even be added in a future plugin version. I think this is a nice addition.
