Automatic Excerpt Generation

[display-wizard]

Hi,

I’m trying to make the excerpt text generate from the main post content, can you help?

I want the text to be taken form the main post content so I don’t have to copy and paste text into the custom excerpt box.

I use the following settings:

Show item excerpt: Yes
Excerpt Length: 75
Content Output: Excerpt

Thanks, Pete

Hi,

this sure is possible, but I’m afraid it’s not built into the theme and would have to be modified especially for you. We’d love to help you with this customization but we are only able to provide support for basic theme issues and bug fixes. We do provide support for small customizations but unfortunately this request is beyond that. Please see our general policy and guidelines for more info. You could also hire a developer to help you with your customizations.

Thank you for understanding!
Cheers!

Hi,

Can you not even point me in the right direction? I imagine it’s a fairly simple function isn’t it?

Thanks, Pete

Also from reading another thread this seems to be possible in Dante which I imagine uses similar code.

It also looks like in the mini view it does this automatically?

Hi

The excerpt will generate automatically if you are not using the page builder in the post, if you are using the page builder you will need to add the excerpt in the custom excerpt box, the same applies for Dante
