[Resolved] How to disable excerpts completely

[oge]

Hi

I have an aggregated news website with feeds being pulled in by WP RSS Aggregator.

How do I disable excerpts completely in GP?

How do I disable excerpts on certain category pages?

Thanks

Hi there,

You can set the excerpt length in Customize > Layout > Blog to 0 to remove excerpts completely. Then you can hide the containing element like this:

.entry-summary {
    display: none;
}

To target specific categories, you can do this instead:

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', function( $length ) {
    $categories = array(
        'one-category',
        'another-category',
        'one-more',
    );

    if ( is_category( $categories ) ) {
        $length = 0;
    }

    return $length;
}, 200 );

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi tom, I try to follow this. But there is gap (I dont know how name it) likes more padding.

Did you use the CSS as well?

For example:

.category-one-category .entry-summary,
.category-another-category .entry-summary,
.category-one-more .entry-summary {
    display: none;
}

Niche I never regret buying generatepress.

It done by resizing all featured image at same size.
