issue Archive Content Output (SF 2.5.16 & Uplift 1.3.12)

[Xavi]

Hello,
After uddate to SF 2.5.16 & Uplift 1.3.12 the option ‘Archive Content Output'(content or excerpt) in Theme Options >> ‘Archive/Category Options’ doesn’t work.
Only works the post meta “Custom excerpt”. Tested in a fresh copy of WordPress with Uplift 1.3.12 and SF 2.5.16.

Thanks a lot for your help.

The full content is displayed for me if I choose content over excerpt.

Can you screenshot your Theme Options => Archive/Category Options so I can see your settings?

Hello David,
I need display the wp excerpt, not content over excerpt.
Theme Options => Archive/Category => Archive Content Output => Excerpt
Edit Post => Excerpt

In the attached images you can see how the blog-feed shows the excerpt correctly, in archive/category pages not (in all blog types).
I can fix this by myself, but I think that I should report this issue.
Before update this didn’t happen. Thanks

Is there a reason you do not want to use Meta Options => Page Meta => Custom excerpt?

Is page builder active within those pages you see correctly in the feed?

We set the excerpt length here /uplift/swift-framework/core/sf-formatting.php, the function is:

    /* EXCERPT
    ================================================== */
    if ( ! function_exists( 'sf_new_excerpt_length' ) ) {
        function sf_new_excerpt_length( $length ) {
            return 60;
        }

        add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'sf_new_excerpt_length' );
    }

You can test overriding this within your child theme functions.php.

Lastly, do you have a staging site as it’s tricky to help with local installs?

Thanks,
David

Hello David,
Thanks for your time and support

We hide the “Meta Options” by user roles (Author) on our blog. This user role no need these Meta Options, for us.
Don’t worry about the child theme, we test everything in a local installation.
The excerpt_length is not the solution for us.

Thanks

No problem, Uplift uses a custom excerpt function, not the standard wp excerpt.

If you open the file /uplift/swift-framework/core/sf-formatting.php

Locate this:

//$excerpt = wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), $limit );
$excerpt = sf_content( $limit );

Replace with this:

$excerpt = wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), $limit );
//$excerpt = sf_content( $limit );

Does that work better for your requirements?

Hi, David.
My apologies for the delayed reply.
Thanks again for your help. We solved this issue otherwise, we don’t want to override these lines in the parent theme.
All the best

Ok. Glad it’s sorted.
Thanks David.
