Hi nobita,

It seems like every time I change it to WordPress Excerpt it also changes my Front page to WordPress Excerpt as well. I’d like to keep the Front Page as “HTML in Excerpt” and only change the Search Results page to “WordPress Excerpt” Is that possible?

Create child theme

example

https://tenman.info/download/child-raindrops.zip

Copy Raindrops / search.php

change code

<div class="entry-content clearfix">

                                        <?php
                                        raindrops_prepend_entry_content();

                                       // raindrops_entry_content();
					the_excerpt();  //change above function                                      ?>
                                        <br class="clear" />
                                        <?php
                                        raindrops_append_entry_content();
                                        ?>
                                    </div>

change from raindrops_entry_content() to the_excerpt();

paste child theme / search.php

child theme / functions.php

add excerpt length for search rezults.

function wpdocs_custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	if( is_search() ) {
             return 20;
	}
	return $length;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'wpdocs_custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

Thanks again for the quick turnaround. Search results are now in WordPress format and Main page is still in HTML format.

I’m not sure

I’d like to keep the Front Page as “HTML in Excerpt”

and

only change the Search Results page to “WordPress Excerpt” Is that possible?

Do I have an understanding that was wrong?

Sorry poor english.

Sorry for confusing you. I meant to say it is working good. Thank you.
