[Resolved] Blog – Disable Excerpts

[Sean]

I’m trying to disable the excepts completely from search pages, and the index. My plan is to just have each post’s metadata show(title, date, category, tags). Or if possible, show the Page Header for that post. I don’t think it’s possible to have more than 1 page header per page, so the more likely solution would be disabling the excerpts completely. I tried setting it to zero using GeneratePress in the Customize tool, and deleted the “read more” text, but it still shows the … 3 dots and takes up that line.

Hi there,

Try this CSS:

.entry-summary {
    display: none;
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

That will do it, almost had to resort to downloading a separate plugin. Thank you for the save 🙂

This is actually fixed in the next version as well which gives you many more options in blog.

Feel free to take a look and test out the beta: https://generatepress.com/gp-premium-1-5-alphabeta/

I’m afraid to try the beta, and then something becomes broken, and then I gotta start over sort of thing. Or is it not like that?

Edit: I took the risk. There’s only one issue with disabling except in the customization menu, there’s still something causing a gap. I’m not entirely sure how to explain it. Using the code you provided previously tightens it up again.

Ok we will take a look.

The code way should still work well 🙂
