How to put descriptions (not excerpts) below featured images?
3 replies · Started by Robert on August 7, 2022
I want to place brief descriptions of articles, rather than excerpts from the articles themselves, below all the featured images on my homepage, but haven't been able to find a way to do this.
To clarify what I'm after, I want to put a post description, e.g. "A blind man finds himself on the run from a vampire," below the article images on this page: https://aussiehorror.com/
but not on, for example, this page: https://aussiehorror.com/flesh-eaters-greatest-b-grade-horror-movie-ever/
Many thanks in advance!
Hi Robert,
Perhaps you can add the “description” through the custom Excerpt field in the post settings?
Alternatively, you can add a custom field for custom descriptions.
You can use ACF plugin to add a custom field: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/getting-started-with-acf/
Then, you can use a Content Template for you Blog/Archive Pages. Then, use a GB Headline Block to retrieve the custom field text for the description.
Thanks for your suggestion. Will give it a try.
You’re welcome Robert!
