Excerpt in Archive

[robinhaus]

Hello

I would like to know how to change the excerpt of the archive pages in Cardinal. I have tried some ways from other themes of Swiftideas like the following code:
<div class=”blog-wrap blog-items-wrap blog-<?php echo esc_attr($blog_type,$excerpt_length = “250”); ?>”>
but it breaks the page.
Example page: http://micliente.net/blog/franciscoruiztorre/

I want also to translate “View profile” in the overlay of the team items. In the file .po is well translated. I guess some php must be changed manually like in the post-details.php
Example page: http://micliente.net/blogs

Can you help me please? Thank you

Hi,

1) Could you be more specific about what you want to change? Are you looking to change the length?

2) Please use this plugin to find and translate that string: https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/.

Thanks,
David.

No problem.

1) Please activate your child theme.
2) Within the child theme create a directory folder called swift-framework and within that create a directory folder called layout.
3) Within the folder layout create a file called archive.php.
4) Copy all of this code into archive.php: http://pastie.org/private/d9kbqaxoefw8g0gzag9dxq
5) Locate this line: <?php echo sf_get_post_item( $post->ID, $blog_type, "yes", "yes", "yes", "20", $content_output, $show_read_more ); ?>
6) Change this "20" with the number you wish for your excerpt, ex: "50".

Thanks,
David.

Hi,

That should work, I will need your WP login details.

What length are you looking to change your excerpt to, can you be specific as possible?
