Hi,

I am using elementor and am pulling the excerpt through from our CRM via webhook to a custom post types excerpt field, ideally, I would have an auto-generated excerpt from the post content, but I am facing an issue with the length as a whole.

I have tried displaying the excerpt via the elementor text area/excerpt and Jet engine dynamic field as this allows a custom excerpt length in the editor. I have also tried easy auto excerpts and advanced excerpts but to no avail.

I believe the issue comes from elementors approach to the custom excerpt lengths and your theme overwriting their rules, gleaned from other articles.

Are you aware of a fix for my use case?~

Thanks

Hi there,

Does the issue exist if you disable the blog module?

Hi Leo,

I don't have the blog module enabled, only disable elements, menu plus, and elements.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi there,

can you share a link to a page where we can see the issue ? It might shed some light on what is going on.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply here is the link:

You'll notice that I have hidden the overflow and hidden the text but it's still loading in if you inspect the excerpt.

Thanks

Lots of pieces in play here, and i am not sure if the Theme has anything to do with it.
I did find an ongoing unresolved issue on Elementor GitHub related to this, and one user posted a function to fix this:
