Masonry post description

[mlacroix0]

Hi,

The post masonry for the blog articles shows the first sentences of the post under the featured image on the home blog page.

How do I write a custom description for each article shown in the post masonry so that the description makes more sense and is not cut at a wrong place?

 

Please let me know if the question is not clear and I’ll post pictures of what I ask.

Thanks,

Maxime

Hi,

Add this code to your child theme ( wp-content/themes/kleo-child/functions.php )

COPY CODE

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

Replace 20 with your desired number.

Note : child theme needs to be active

Cheers

Hi Radu,

Thanks for your reply. However I got this message:
Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier '\'

That line is:
$excerpt_initial = preg_replace( '<code>\[[^\]]*\]</code>', '', $excerpt_initial );

I’m not familiar with Regex. Please help.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, you run on php7 ?

Can you please provide FTP credentials ? to take a closer look?

On mine the excerpt it’s limited using that solution and also on other users install.
