Column Blog Layout Issue

Hi there,

Couldn't you just switch the post format back to standard since it was a mistake?

Or I'm missing something here?

Let me know :)

That's not the point, isn't it - I sure did switch the post format back for now but I still think that this behavior is probably not intended, isn't it?

That's actually intended, as the only way to show HTML (like a gallery) is to show the full content instead of the excerpt.

Let me know if you need any more info :)

Thanks Tom - is there a filter to avoid this behavior - in the past I just used the post format as an indicator and maybe use some different css for that specific post format - showing the full content in a e.g. 3 or 4 column layout is just not practical in my case but I guess that's just me then

For sure, try this:

add_filter( 'generate_show_excerpt', function( $show ) {
    if ( 'gallery' === get_post_format() ) {
        return true;
    }

    return $show;
} );
