    I finally got it! Thanks for your patience. The theme developer finally responded with specific instructions.

    Where’s the best place for me to provide feedback on the excellent customer service?

    Btw, sorry for all the hassle.

    The Modernize team said that the change needs to be put into the ‘include/plugin/blog-item.php’file. I’m pasting it below. Can you tell me what I need to add and where? The code is below.

    Ok. I’ve tried numerous options. No luck. So, maybe the best choice would be if you could suggest a WP Theme that would enable displaying of WTI Like Plus in excerpts. Grid layout is what’s needed (like the grid layout used at bristolrising.com… not masonry, but structured rows/columns).

    I have the Modernize theme from an old site if that’s doable.

    Should I do anything in the index.php at this location?

    <?php
    if($data[‘content_length’] == ‘Excerpt’) {
    if($data[‘strip_html_excerpt’]) {
    $stripped_content = strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( tf_content( $data[‘excerpt_length_blog’] ) ) );
    } else {
    $stripped_content = strip_shortcodes( tf_content( $data[‘excerpt_length_blog’] ) );
    }
    echo $stripped_content;
    } else {
    the_content(”);
    }
    ?>

    No luck. Here’s the site: https://abc-davis.com/uniquely-davis/

    And the code in functions.php
    function avada_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    global $data;

    if(isset($data[‘excerpt_length_blog’])) {
    return $data[‘excerpt_length_blog’];
    }
    }
    add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘avada_excerpt_length’, 999);

    add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘WtiLikePostExcerpt’);

    function WtiLikePostExcerpt($excerpt)
    {
    return $excerpt . GetWtiLikePost();
    }

    Thread Starter habicht

    (@habicht)

    Do I just add the above code, or do I actually replace the “add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘avada_excerpt_length’, 999);” ?

    Sorry to hassle you again. I just don’t want to break my theme. To make sure I understand correctly… I’m in the functions.php. Do I add GetWtiLikePost() after the “,999);” (see below)? Or do I need to be looking somewhere else in my template files?

    }

    function avada_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    global $data;

    if(isset($data[‘excerpt_length_blog’])) {
    return $data[‘excerpt_length_blog’];
    }
    }
    add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘avada_excerpt_length’, 999);

    Yes, but I didn’t see an answer there.
