[Support request] Column Blog Layout Issue

[Marco]

Hello
I set up GP to show my posts in 3 columns – one of my blog posts’ post format by accident was set as ‘gallery’ instead of ‘standard’ – in the column layout the full content was shown, text, gallery, etc. obviously throwing off the whole layout – is that the intended behavior??

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 🙂

[Marco]

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?

[Tom]

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

[Tom]

For sure, try this:

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

    return $show;
} );
