The manual and the automatic excerpt

  • Hello, i want to display both the excerpt that i set manually and the one that is created automatically of 55 words by the system when i don’t set one.

    I narrowed it down to maybe using

    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>

    But i don’t know how to limit the_content and prevent it from showing images or such, so maybe i’m not correct.
    Please help me out

  • If you manually set an excerpt WordPress then will use that when you call the_excerpt() (instead of generating the 55 word one).

    You’ll need to know some PHP, but it looks like there is some sample code here that may help you generate the 55 word excerpt as WordPress would have.
