Add excerpt after headline?
10 replies · Started by Edin on December 8, 2022
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(); ?>
Hi David,
Thank you, but, unfortunately, that didn't work.
Sorry, wrong thread.
Are you trying to display the manual excerpt ?
Yes, I'm trying to add the excerpt I manually write (in the box below the article editor).
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 ?
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?

Thank you, Ying. That was indeed the issue.
Thanks,

You are welcome :)
