[ Solved + Solution ] Excerpt lenght in WordPress blog page

[andre_placido]

Hi! I’ve seen many posts regarding the excerpt lenght, and i’ve tried 2 or 3 functions, but none of them worked. I want the excerpt in the wordpress blog page to be larger. Is it possible?

Even if I place a “Read More” tag inside the post, or type a text in the Excerpt area, the lenght is still reduced.

 

Can you help me? The URL is http://www.agenciabowie.com.br/blog

 

Thank you!

I’ve tried, then cleanup my cache, but it’s still not working 🙁

Do you have Kleo child theme installed and activated ? It’s required

Hi! Sorry for taking so long to answer, and yes, the installed theme is the Child one. I’ll create a temporary user so you can check.

Hi,

Done I’ve replaced the function

See screenshot

I’ve used this function

COPY CODE

if ( ! function_exists( 'kleo_excerpt' ) ) {
    function kleo_excerpt( $limit = '', $words = false ) {
        $full_post_content = get_the_content();
        $limit = '99999';
        $excerpt = wp_strip_all_tags(substr( $full_post_content, 0, $limit ));
        return '<p>' . $excerpt . '</p>';
    }
}

Cheers
R.

Thanks! It worked, however, it’s not working when I put a “read more” tag or write an excerpt in the proper field for it. Is there a way to fix this?

[Radu]

Hi,

Please replace all of that code with this one, the excerpt tag will work as it should

COPY CODE

if ( ! function_exists( 'kleo_excerpt' ) ) {
    function kleo_excerpt( $limit = 50, $words = false ) {
        /*Force excerpt length*/
        $limit = 500;
        $from_content    = false;
        $excerpt_initial = get_the_excerpt();

        if ( $excerpt_initial == '' ) {
            $excerpt_initial = get_the_content();
            $from_content    = true;
        }
        $excerpt_initial = preg_replace( '<code>\[[^\]]*\]</code>', '', $excerpt_initial );
        $excerpt_initial = strip_tags( $excerpt_initial );

        /* If we got it from get_the_content -> apply length restriction */
        if ( $from_content ) {
            $excerpt_length  = apply_filters( 'excerpt_length', $limit );
            $excerpt_initial = wp_trim_words( $excerpt_initial, $excerpt_length, '' );
        }

        if ( $words ) {
            $excerpt = explode( ' ', $excerpt_initial, $limit );
            if ( count( $excerpt ) >= $limit ) {
                array_pop( $excerpt );
                $excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '...';
            } else {
                $excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '';
            }
        } else {
            $excerpt = substr( $excerpt_initial, 0, $limit ) . ( strlen( $excerpt_initial ) > $limit ? '...' : '' );
        }

        return '' . $excerpt . '
';
    }
}

function kleo_new_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 500;
}

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'kleo_new_excerpt_length' );

You can replace 500 value with your desired excerpt length

Hi! Sorry, it didn’t work 🙁

It resulted in the error message: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/agenc750/public_html/wp-content/themes/kleo-child/functions.php on line 35”

[Radu]

Hi,

We have some issues with syntax highlighter function

Paste again the code from here : https://pastebin.com/raw/u7x9ZUE7 and replace the limit with your desired character

Let me know

Cheers
