limit excerpts of GROUP’s topic post on front page of Kleo using post grid

[ale7q]

I am outputting my group’s main topics post onto the front page of kleo through post grid. I am trying to limit the lengths of excerpts using the one’s I saw in the forum (your reply get excerpt function which I placed in the function.php but no change). In fact I can’t find a place to limit the length of excerpts. Neither can I find that in the post template php. I also found your other replies but it showed errors when I placed in my function php.

Maybe my particular case is different since I am outputting a Group topic post. How to do it.

Hello, added this

COPY CODE

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

To functions.php 🙂 You can change it as you prefer ( 20 )

Hi,

Thanks a lot. Just one more favour, how to change the limits to number of character instead of words words.

[Laura]

Hello, try maybe this one

COPY CODE

function get_excerpt(){
$excerpt = get_the_content();
$excerpt = preg_replace(" (\[.*?\])",'',$excerpt);
$excerpt = strip_shortcodes($excerpt);
$excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt);
$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, 40);
$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, strripos($excerpt, " "));
$excerpt = trim(preg_replace( '/\s+/', ' ', $excerpt));
return $excerpt;
}

Sorry but it did not work — the length did not change at all. Do you another suggestion?

Hello, you may need to contact a freelancer to check it out for you

I was hoping you can just give another codes that I can try.

I am searching this site. Maybe there are some clues somewhere but I could not see them.

[Laura]

Hello, try this maybe

COPY CODE

function excerpt($limit) {
   $excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit);
   if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) {
      array_pop($excerpt);
      $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'.';
   } else {
      $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt);
   } 
   $excerpt = preg_replace('@\[[^\]]*\]@','',$excerpt);
   return $excerpt;
}

If it doesn’t work you will need to contact a developer 🙂

Hi,
Is this the preferred way to limit post excerpt lenght on post grid?

COPY CODE

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

Does it affect only post grid excerpt?

Thanks
