[Resolved] Post format and Summary

[Enrico]

Hi there, first of all I apologize for my English, I know it’s not the best
I found this problem: when I write an article and I will set “Video” as post format, in the archive (blog) page all the text is shown, and not only the summary as I would like to do.
If I set “Standard” post format, the summary is shown and all works well.
Is it there a way to fix it?
Thank you

Hi there,

by default WP only parses the Standard format for the excerpt.
You can add this PHP Snippet to your site so excerpts are on all Post Formats:

add_filter( 'generate_show_excerpt', function( $show ) {
    if ( 'standard' !== get_post_format() && ! $show ) {
        return true;
    }
    return $show;
} );

Thank you very much, it works perfectly.
I’m sorry I didn’t find this topic in the forum, but with my poor English it’s hard to find the right query…
Thank you.

No problem 🙂
Glad to be of help
