No Excerpt Pages

[rocmandesign]

I’d like to remove all excerpts from the blog, post and archive pages. How do I do that?

Hi,

Add this in Custom CSS

.excerpt{
display: none;
}

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,
laranz.

Hi Laranz,
I added it to Theme Options > Custom CSS. All the requested pages are still formatted as excerpts, not full posts.

Please advise,
Craig

Hi Craig,

You mean, you want to display full posts in the blog page?

Thanks,
laranz.

Yes, I’d like to display full posts on the blog page, category page, archive page, etc. (every page where posts exist).

Hi,

Try this.

Go to \includes\swift-framework\sf-content-display\sf-post-formats.php line #216 – #228 it looks like this

if ($content_output == "excerpt") {
			if ($custom_excerpt != '') {
			$post_excerpt = custom_excerpt($custom_excerpt, $excerpt_length);
			} else {
			if ($post_format == "quote") {
			$post_excerpt = get_the_content_with_formatting();
			} else {
			$post_excerpt = excerpt($excerpt_length);
			}
			}
		} else {
			$post_excerpt = get_the_content_with_formatting();
		}

delete that and add this

$post_excerpt = get_the_content_with_formatting();

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,
laranz.

I replaced the code, but nothing appeared to change. Still post excerpts throughout the site.

Hi,

Can you try doing the same in Go to \includes\swift-framework\sf-content-display\sf-post-formats-3.6.php ?

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
laranz.

The same snippet of code below doesn’t exist in “sf-post-formats-3.6.php”, please advise?

if ($content_output == “excerpt”) {
if ($custom_excerpt != ”) {
$post_excerpt = custom_excerpt($custom_excerpt, $excerpt_length);
} else {
if ($post_format == “quote”) {
$post_excerpt = get_the_content_with_formatting();
} else {
$post_excerpt = excerpt($excerpt_length);
}
}
} else {
$post_excerpt = get_the_content_with_formatting();
}

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. Laranz has gone overboard with his help already, I’m afraid if it doesn’t work I recommend hiring a developer as we cannot give detailed developer work to a single user within the free support. 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 Melanie,
I appreciate Laranz’ and your help, but displaying full posts isn’t a customization issue. It’s a vulnerability that I’ve discovered in your theme. Full posts are the most basic way to display a blog page. I was shocked to find it not offered in Theme Options > Archive/Category Options > Full Posts. This blog has 544 posts that I would manually need to assign featured images to. Furthermore, your default display types would duplicate the featured image, 1) pinning it to the top and 2) in the body below! Please continue to help accommodate my request for a full post page. If not, I’ll be forced to flag your theme to the Envato support team.

Thanks,
Craig

Hi,

In custom style I remove that the style I gave earlier. and now the posts display fully. The featured image isn’t doubling see you have two images (one in featured image and another inside the post editor)

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
larnaz.

Thanks so much Laranz, really appreciate it! One more: how do I hide the Welcome message in the Header area?
