Hi Tom,

After GP update to 1.2.9.8, The Blog Addon > Blog content > option to show excerpt in home page, with Masonry enable or disable, doesen’t work.

thank’s

This is the GeneratePress (theme) update to 1.2.9.8, or the GP Premium (plugin) update to 1.2.62?

Can you check to see if your posts are using the standard post format?

Tom,
– is the GeneratePress (theme) update to 1.2.9.8
– Yes the posts are using standar format

Before the upgrade the excerpts works fine

Are you using the “More tag” in your posts?

There’s a couple reasons GP will not show excerpts:

1. Post format is set to something other than Standard
2. More tag is being used

[Xavi Colomer]

Yes More tag is being used,
but Before the upgrade the excerpts (with “more tag” in content area) works fine.

[Tom]

Ah, this actually changed in the 1.2.9 update.

This gives users the options to show excerpts, but use the more tag for specific posts. This gives more flexibility to users.

To disable this, you can add this filter:

add_filter('generate_more_tag','generate_disable_more_tag');
function generate_disable_more_tag()
{
      return false;
}

OK, thank’s

Hi Tom,
Another question about this,

In some case, using the “more” tag in the editor, I don’t want to print the “read more…” text in the front end.

if I leave the “read more” text field empty, it would be interesting not print that field in the front end.
Now i have a blank gap (read-more-container) between the automatic excerpt and the “entry-meta”.

It will be possible with a function? (…if …empty…then …false)

thank’s

[Tom]

Interesting – good idea. If the read more area is blank, the entire function shouldn’t be printed.

On it 🙂

Hi Tom,

Another question, after upgrade:
The masonry enable, with custom post type, doesen’t work fine.

Example1: A list of custom post type

http://dbloop.com/projectes/enriquetafilms/blog/videos/video-clips/

Example2: First item is a post post-type, the others are custom post type

http://dbloop.com/projectes/enriquetafilms/blog/category/external-videos/

Thank’s

[Tom]

Is masonry supposed to be enabled in example 1? Or are we talking about something being off in example 2?

[Xavi Colomer]

Hi Tom,

Yes masonry is enabled in both examples (1 and 2)

– in example 1: List of custom category “Video clips”. all posts are custom post type (“vimeo-video” from CodeFlavors Vimeo Video Post Lite Plugin)

In this case the div with class=”masonry-container masonry js-masonry” is missed.

– in example 2: List of category “External Videos”. the first post is standar post, and the rest are custom post type ( “class= external-videos type-external-videos” from External Videos plugin). Seems that the class “masonry-post” is missed.

If I don’t print the first post (standar post) it works like example 1.

thanks

[Tom]

Looking into this – will update 🙂

[Xavi Colomer]

Thank’s Tom!

[Tom]

Sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner!

Another user had a similar issue which they resolved: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/masonry-issues-on-custom-page-template/#post-132807

Let me know if this helps or not 🙂
