Hi Ismael,

Thanks but that doesn’t apply to custom excerpts. It only affects the length of the default excerpts.

I’m talking about manually set excerpts set on the page / post at the bottom after turning on excerpts in Screen Options.

This is the code I’m using to shorten custom excerpts that is working for posts unless they are set to post-grid layout

function wp_trim_all_excerpt($text) {
// Creates an excerpt if needed; and shortens the manual excerpt as well
global $post;
  $raw_excerpt = $text;
  if ( '' == $text ) {
    $text = get_the_content('');
    $text = strip_shortcodes( $text );
    $text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
    $text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
  }
$text = strip_tags($text);
$excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', 80);
$excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . '[...]');
$text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more ); //since wp3.3
/*$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
  if (count($words)> $excerpt_length) {
    array_pop($words);
    $text = implode(' ', $words);
    $text = $text . $excerpt_more;
  } else {
    $text = implode(' ', $words);
  }
return $text;*/
return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt); //since wp3.3
}
remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_all_excerpt');

Sorry, wrong login URL – correct info is below:

Hey there,

Info in the private section.

Other developments since last post:
– I had the server upgraded to 512 MB of ram. This removed the “memory exhausted” warning but hasn’t fixed any issues.
– I cannot customize the theme without getting a 500 error, though this happens with the 2014 theme as well…seems to be triggering a wp-cron.php error on another site in my hosting. No idea.

My next course of action will be doing a clean WP + Theme install in another folder, then migrating my DB + files over to see if that helps.

My CSS is all in the Custom CSS of Enfold’s Theme panel that I can’t access. Can I pull all of that enfold.css in the wp-content/uploads folder?
