    I have set up my blog with “Blog Content Length” set to “Full Content”.

    This works fine as long as I use the default layout builder however if I want to use the Advanced layout builder for a blog post it only shows the excerpt with the read more button.

    Here is a link to the issue:

    The most recent post uses the Advanced layout builder while all the other posts use the default.

    How do I fix this so that I can see the full content of a post while using the advanced layout builder for a post?

    Thanks,

    Hey gb,
    Please check the manual excerpt box to ensure it is empty.

    Best regards,

    Hey Mike,

    I checked Screen Options and the excerpt box is empty!

    Any other thoughts?

    Hi,
    Please post us your login credentials (in the “private data” field), so we can take a look at your backend.

    1. Install and activate ” Temporary Login Without Password “.
    2. Go to ” Users > Temporary Logins ” on the left-side menu.
    3. Click ” Create New “.
    4. Add the email address for the account ( you can use (Email address hidden if logged out) ), as well as the ” Role ” making that the highest possible and the expiry about four days
      ( do be sure that we have enough time to debug ).
    5. Click ” Submit “.
    6. You’ll now have a temporary account. Please provide us here in the private section the URL, so we can login and help you out.

    When your issue is fixed, you can always remove the plugin!
    If you prefer to not use the plugin, you can manually create a admin user and post the login credentials in the “private data” field.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi,
    When blog posts are made with the layout builder they will not show excerpts in the blog element, to show the excerpts you will need to add a manual excerpt.
    But I found a workaround, first Enable Avia Layout Builder Debug with this code to the end of your functions.php file in Appearance > Editor:

    
    //set builder mode to debug
    add_action('avia_builder_mode', "builder_set_debug");
    function builder_set_debug()
    {
    	return "debug";
    }
     

    Then build your post with the layout builder and save, then copy the shortcode from the debugger area and switch to the default editor and paste the shortcode in the “text tab” not the “visual tab”, then update/save.
    The full post will show.
    This is not suppose to work, but it seems to.
    I did this for your first post to show you.
    Please check & if you want me to undo the changes I will.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Are you saying that if I want the full post to show while using the layout builder I will need to cut and paste code each time I create a new post?

    Hi,
    Yes

    And what are the long term potential issues, like when there is a major update to the theme, will I need to reconfigure the functions.php file?

    Are there any other issues or responsibilities I would need to be aware of?

    What if I decide to change my News / blog , what happens to each post I created that had shortcake added to the text tab?

    #894424

    Hi,
    All could be issues. Shall I undo the changes?
    When blog posts are made with the layout builder they will not show excerpts in the blog element, to show the excerpts you will need to add a manual excerpt, yet the manual excerpt will not show images.
    It is recommend to use the default editor for blog posts.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    OK, yes please undo the changes.

    Thanks for trying to make it work, I will instead solve the design issue within the boundaries of the theme.

    Hi,

    Thanks,

    I am experimenting with using a grid layout for the “News” blog posts. I noticed however that when one clicks on the post and goes to the News post page that the left and right buttons to go to other posts is looking at posts other than the “News” category. Same issue is also happening for the “you Might Also Like” section.

    Can not seem to figure out how to keep both those issues only relevant to the “news” category of posts.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please use a child theme and apply this code to functions.php file of your child theme.

    add_filter('avia_post_nav_categories', 'use_same_category_filter');
    function use_same_category_filter($same_category)
    {
    $same_category = true;
    return $same_category;
    }

    Best regards,
    Mike

    OK, thanks.

    By the way, I am not sure what happened but for some reason on the masonry view of the blog posts, the element title is no longer displaying on top of the post image in the grid view?
