[Resolved] disable excerpt custom post type

[Daniele]

Hello,
how can I disable excerpt on custom post type archives?

Is there also a way to show categories under the posts?

thank you

Hi there,

the easiest method is to use a Block Element – Content Template:

Hi David,
I prefer not installing generateblocks, I aiming to maximum speed in this website.
Is there any filter I could use?

[David]

Of course we have filters 🙂 Just a note though GB won’t affect your sites performance as it simply outputs the necessary HTML and CSS required 🙂

Remove the excerpt by settings length to 0 with this filter:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/excerpt_length/#examples

Example of applying that to a specific CPT:

function db_cpt_excerpt_zero($length) {
    global $post;
    if ($post->post_type == 'your-post-type') {
        $length =  0;
    }
    return $length;

}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'db_cpt_excerpt_zero', 100);

And this to add meta to your post type:

Thanks,
for the read more button? I have to remove it with css?

For the meta now I see only data and author, but I’m interested in categories

Regarding the plugin, it does not load any extra CSS or JS?

You can use the option_generate_blog_settings filter to effectively change any blog setting for a specific condition:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/option_generate_blog_settings/

eg.

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'lh_custom_search_results_page_settings' );
function lh_custom_search_results_page_settings( $options ) {
    if ($post->post_type == 'your-post-type') {
	    $options['read_more_button'] = false;
    }
  
    return $options;
}

mmm..is not working with this:

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'lh_custom_search_results_page_settings' );
function lh_custom_search_results_page_settings( $options ) {
    if ($post->post_type == 'progetti') {
	    $options['read_more_button'] = false;
      $options['date'] = false;
    }

    return $options;
}

[David]

Try this method instead:

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'lh_custom_search_results_page_settings' );
function lh_custom_search_results_page_settings( $options ) {
    if ( 'progetti' === get_post_type() && ! is_singular() ) {
	$options['read_more_button'] = false;
        $options['date'] = false;
    }

    return $options;
}

If you can make sure the progetti name i added is correct.

With this:

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'lh_custom_search_results_page_settings' );
function lh_custom_search_results_page_settings( $options ) {
    if ( 'progetti' === get_post_type() && ! is_singular() ) {
	    $options['read_more_button'] = false;
      $options['date'] = false;
      $options['categories'] = true;
      $options['author'] = false;
    }

    return $options;
}

read more buttons is still present, and Catagories are not visible
date and author works fine

[David]

You need to use this option for the read more:

$options[‘read_more’]

Is the other meta for the archives or the single post ?

I am on the archive, this is the page: https://dev1.oceandigitals.com/portfolio/

Hi Daniel,

I’m not seeing read-more/date/author on your archive page:
https://www.screencast.com/t/onqvDgmCg9a

For the categories, add this PHP snippet to activate the footer meta for your custom post type:

add_filter( 'generate_footer_meta_post_types', function( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'progetti';
	
    return $types;
} );

[Daniele]

Perfect, it is working now!

[Ying]

Glad to hear that 🙂
