Content "Excerpt": The "0" to disable Excerpt totally not working

Hi there,

that field only applies if it is a WP auto generated excerpt. If you're using manual excerpts or the read more tag then that will no apply.

If neither of them is the case then provide a link to the site so i can see the issue.

here is my website http://www.emyshub.com, please check it out and tell me how to get this done. Thanks

Hi there,

You're using the More Tag which will overwrite the excerpt length value you've set in the Customizer.

You can tell it not to like this:

add_filter( 'generate_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' );

Let me know if that makes a difference or not :)

You mean I should add this "add_filter( 'generate_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' );" to my custom CSS box???

I have added the line code in; Appearance >> customize >> Additional CSS >> then add this "add_filter( 'generate_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' );", am I correct??

But the Excerpt is still not disabled yet. http://www.emyshub.com

was the code added in the right place?

That code is PHP - this article explains how to add it:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

TLDR: If you're not using a Child Theme then install the Code Snippets plugin and add the code to a new snippet.

1. Am I using a Child theme and How do I know if am using a Child Theme??

Because so far the only I have done was to download and install the GeneratePress theme and premium plugin. Then for some of my sites, I selected templates from the site-library, while some I customized it like that (without selecting from the site-library).

So am I using a child-theme??

2. Applying the above steps on my sites can insect the PHP code on functions.php file or better still install the Code Snippets plugin, or any of the options can serve?

1. It doesn't sound like you are using a child theme.

You can check in Dashboard > Appearance > Themes.

2. Code Snippets is the best if you aren't using a child theme already.

Do not modify the theme's function.php as the changes will be erased during updates.

Mr Tom,
I have installed the Code Snippets plugin and added the add_filter( 'generate_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' );, but still the post Excerpt is still showing. check out http://www.emyshub.com

Hi there,

something is injecting code into your post excerpt.
If you right click and inspect your excerpts and check the Element in the developers tools you will see this - i examined the latest post:

<div class="entry-summary" itemprop="text">
    <div class="at-above-post-homepage addthis_tool" data-url="https://www.emyshub.com/download-cloudapp-image-editor-screen-recorder/"></div>
        <p>Click here to Download CloudApp free software for Capturing and Instantly Sharing with your team… Record screen as a video with voice & …<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings above via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings below via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons above via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons below via filter on get_the_excerpt --></p>
    <div class="at-below-post-homepage addthis_tool" data-url="https://www.emyshub.com/download-cloudapp-image-editor-screen-recorder/"></div>
    <p><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --></p>
</div>

So another plugin or function is inserting code into your excerpt. You will need to find which plugin/function is causing that.
