[Resolved] Add excerpt after headline?

[Edin]

I’m trying to add the excerpt after a posts h1 title.

I used this in the hook “generate_after-entre-title”:

<div class="excerpt-style"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>

It works, but the problem is that it adds the “read more” button at the bottom automatically.

I tried to remove it with the following:

.read-more-button-container {display:none;}

But then ALL the “read more” buttons on the site are removed. I want to keep them on the blog articles list page at least.

What’s the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Edin

Hi there,

instead of :

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

try:

<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>

[Edin]

Hi David,

Thank you, but, unfortunately, that didn’t work.

[Edin]

Sorry, wrong thread.

[David]

Are you trying to display the manual excerpt ?

[Edin]

Yes, I’m trying to add the excerpt I manually write (in the box below the article editor).

[David]

in your hook add:

if ( has_excerpt() ) {
     ?>
     <span class="entry-subtitle"><?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?></span>
     <?php
}

by default the manual excerpt should not show a read more. If it still is, can you leave the code as is and share a link to a post where i can see the issue ?

[Edin]

I added the code, but the read-more button is still there. (see “Private information” for URL and access)

Hi Edin,

Can you check if you have this function added?

[Edin]

Thank you, Ying. That was indeed the issue.

Thanks,
Edin
