    Hi there,
    as mentioned in the topic: Sidebar widget not showing title “and excerpt” of post listing
    The sidebar widget is set to show title and excerpt.
    Any ideas out there…?
    Thanks S.

    Hi Victoria,

    regarding: “The posts have to have excerpts to be shown. You need to add excerpts to the posts.”

    if you look into the original posts, they have a text underneath. I thought the excerpts would be a section (e.g. 1st 200 Words or so) of the given text…?
    And yes I read the article: https://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt and saw the image you’ve sent. Thanks for that! The excerpt field below is (if you have a couple of posts…) a bit confusing if you wish to have a seperate excerpts for seperate posts…?!

    Also it doesn’t do anything to my sidebar widget if I popolate it …:-(

    Any more ideas?

    Hi Stefan,

    When using the Layout Builder for posts, they act more like pages rather than posts, and all content needs to be added to them manually. I know this is not optimal, but that’s the way it works in Enfold and we don’t have a solution for getting the “regular” excerpt into the posts created with the Layout Builder unfortunately.

    I added an excerpt in to the post in private, and it’s showing up on the front page now.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hi Rikard,
    thanks! This would work for now!
    But I can’t seem to figure out, where this excerpt that you added was added… I checked post / page / widget …? Where did you add the excerpt, please?

    Hi S.,

    You can check on the link Rikard gave in private content.
    It’s the post with the title: English for HR Experts
    Scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll find the Excerpt field.
    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,
    Nikko

    Hi,

    Please see private for screenshot. If you don’t see that field on your end then please select to show it under Screen Options in the top right hand corner of the screen.

    TXS, that was easy;-) Sorry wasn’t aware of the screen options. Problem solved for now.
    However as you said, this might be a good point in a feature request. Potentially this could also then have a time-function, where the post is vanishing once it’s lifetime has exceeded.

    Hi,

    Yes I agree, hopefully we should get that into a future release of the theme.
