Custom excerpt length not working

[jokerette]

I’m using the standard PHP to change excerpt length – saving it in functions.php under Kleo Child. It’s being a BEAST and refuses to work – no didn’t clear cache, am developing under Chrome so I pulled the site up in FF and still no joy. Figured it might be a Composer issue, hit their support – they have responded many times to the same question with the same (simple) php function.

Why oh why is my beast of a site the only one not to BEHAVE! hard enough going from php/js/html ect to WP – without tiny little urps like this lol!

Thank you SO much! You guys are life-savers. I did see another theme where excerpt-length JUST HAPPENS to be an option… (hint SEG hint 😉

Hi jokerete,

Let’s try again, use this code it should work

COPY CODE

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 20;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

Let me know

Cheers

Hi Radu!
Sorry this took so long – slammed trying to hit that go-live date. No, this didn’t work if you check SOTD from http://www.prowritersint.com/wp/ – andddddd while I’m at it, Post Masonry Grid – default item – isn’t pulling inline images instead of featured images. Have the feeling this and the excerpt thing are likely VC bugs? I’ve seen this one documented here, but – slammed for time – cheating and asking lol!

THANK you so much 🙂

Hi,

The snippet works, is tested by me and by others and is normally the code not works in pages, the STOD is a page and the snippet cannot trim that content.

REgarding to this

Post Masonry Grid – default item – isn’t pulling inline images instead of featured images

I see images are displayed ok as featured where is the problem ? screenshot that pointing out wrong position of images + link please

Ah! So I can’t trim snippets for pages, if I am understanding?

I fixed our other issue by doing something or other you suggested here in these forums. I think I made the image invisible. Now that seems to be working, thanks much.

Speaking of custom excerpt… Is there a way to override Kleo and have the standard WordPress read more feature work for blog posts?

For some reason I cannot start a topic anymore so Im asking about this here.

[Radu]

@jokerette if the pages are rendered thru masonry grid yes

Hi KAStyles,

What do you mean by standard WordPress read more feature ?

You can open a new ticket form menu -> Get Support -> Kleo ->

In the WordPress editor there is is the Read more feature you can insert where you want in a post.
