[Support request] Show preview text searching for sites

[Karsten]

Dear Support,

if a visitor searches on our website, sites (no text, just h1, date, creator & pic) and article (+ text) have a different preview. We would like to have a text shown in the site preview [1], so we can inform visitors about our products, so they view the product site.

Alternatively, we would like to rescale the preview pic of this site [2] (as it’s a product pic), so they don’t need a text to decide. The pic is currently right-sided and does not look that great (see https://www.kagels-trading.de/?s=dax+future+daytrading+signale).

Where do we find the configuration for this feature?

Thanks & Cheers

[Ying]

Hi Karsten,

I’m not sure I fully understand your question, are you trying to customize the search result page?

If so, you can try using block element- content template, and assign it to search results.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi Ying,

thank you for your response.

The preview of pages does only show the page image but no text as you see here here:

https://www.kagels-trading.de/?s=dax+future+daytrading+signale

Is it possible to show also description in this search results?

Thank you

Karsten

Hi there,

the Excerpt ( summary ) is only displayed if WordPress can parse the content and generate an excerpt.
But WordPress will not parse content that is nested inside another Block – whether that be a GB Container Block, a core Group Block or any other plugin.

To get around that you would need to create a Manual Excerpt for those posts / pages.

To add the manual excerpt field to a Page you can add this PHP Snippet to your site:

add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );
