Tried the code above and it completely removed the excerpt in the archive-porfolio view. Also tried the following in the kleo-child functions.php to change the excerpt to word limit instead of characters and nothing changed:
COPY CODE
if ( ! function_exists( 'kleo_excerpt' ) ) {
function kleo_excerpt( $limit = 15 ) {
if ( $chars ) {
$excerpt = explode( ' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit );
if ( count( $excerpt ) >= $limit ) {
array_pop( $excerpt );
$excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '...';
} else {
$excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '';
}
$excerpt = preg_replace( '<code>\[[^\]]*\]</code>', '', $excerpt );
return '<p>' . $excerpt . '</p>';
} else {
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
return '<p>'. substr( $excerpt, 0, $limit ) . ( strlen( $excerpt ) > $limit ? '...' : '' ) . '</p>';
}
}
}
