I am using a dynamic excerpt headline in my author meta template element. I want to remove automatic excerpts from single posts but keep excerpts with custom excerpt content. I am using this code:
remove_filter('get_the_excerpt','wp_trim_excerpt');But it removes automatic excerpts from all category archives as well which I need. This code here doesn’t do anything.
if ( is_single() && 'post' == get_post_type() ) { remove_filter('get_the_excerpt','wp_trim_excerpt'); }I’ve also tried this code:
add_filter( 'excerpt_length','lh_custom_category_excerpt_length', 1000 ); function lh_custom_category_excerpt_length( $length ) { if ( is_single() && 'post' == get_post_type() ) { return 0; } return $length; }but it leaves three dots
...in place of the automatic excerpt.Customer Support
Hi George,
try this:
1. Select the headline block that is displaying the Excerpt, and in Advanced > Addtional CSS Class(es) add a custom class eg.
single-post-excerpt2. Then add this PHP Snippet
add_filter( 'render_block', function( $block_content, $block ) { if ( !is_admin() && is_single() && ! has_excerpt() && ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'single-post-excerpt' ) !== false ) { $block_content = null; } return $block_content; }, 10, 2 );It uses the
has_excerpt()function, to determine if the post has a custom excerpt, if it does not (!) then it strips the block content for the headline with thesingle-post-excerptclass.Ah, I see what you did. Perfect, it works, thanks!
Glad to be of help 🙂
I will also leave this here in case it might seem useful to users in the future. I was made aware that possibly the code runs too early, i.e. before WordPress determined what the queried object is, i.e. whether it’s for a single post, a category archive, a search results page, etc.
Putting the code inside a function which is hooked on
wpalso solves the issue:add_action( 'wp', function () { if ( is_single() && 'post' == get_post_type() ) { remove_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt' ); } } );Thanks again for the solution, David.
Awesome – thanks for sharing that George!
