Thanks again, Ismael, but it still doesn’t seem to be working — in fact apparently the instances of that tag in my test post actually increased from 81 to 107. I switched over to testing this in a dev environment, so I’m looking at https://newissue.wpengine.com/how-to-keep-writing-an-interview-with-lisa-locascio-nighthawk/ and here’s a screenshot of the filter: https://prnt.sc/23gu8os
Ah, sweet, thank you! I had tried that, but only with .logo a — I missed just the .logo — now that I’ve added the .logo it works! Thanks again!
Thanks, Ismael — I was so hopeful, but it doesn’t seem to work. This post, for example, is still full of those tags: https://lunchticket.org/how-to-keep-writing-an-interview-with-lisa-locascio-nighthawk/ — maybe it doesn’t work on the Advance Layout Editor? Thanks again for trying!
Thanks for your diligence as always, Ismael! I assume there’s no filter for the child theme. Do you think this will be included in a future theme update, or do they actually want to keep the Magazine element working differently like that for some reason?
No, that’s what I’m saying: apparently, with the Blog Posts element, the contributors can just use carriage returns in the Excerpt field, like this: https://prnt.sc/212tca0 — that’s a screenshot of the current Excerpt field for that post.
Hmm, but the Blog Posts element I’m using seems to be pulling from the Excerpt field. For example, I just added a few dots to the end of the first line in the Excerpt field for Never Mercy (see https://prnt.sc/212tca0 ) and those dots show on https://newissue.wpengine.com/weekly-content/amuse-bouche/ . Am I misunderstanding?
OK, thanks anyway — please let me know if you hear anything else about this — it looks so close; like it’s there but it’s just not showing because it’s the wrong z-index or something (although I tried testing that to no avail). Anyway, thanks for trying!
Sure thing — just updated — doesn’t look like it helped. https://busd.wpengine.com/maptest
Right, but it works without even adding the br tags in the blog element and, since this client has a bunch of layperson contributors adding posts, I was hoping we could get it to work without having to tell them to add code in the excerpts — know what I mean?
Beautiful, Yigit — it works — thanks so much!! Now, any chance there might be something like that coming for the Magazine element? I just need to move the author line below the titles there (see https://prnt.sc/20xu1cl ). Thanks again!!
Thanks, Ismael, but I think we’re still misunderstanding each other. Simple line-breaks in the custom excerpts (like this https://prnt.sc/20xtwsa ) are working fine in the Blog element (in every option with excerpts except the grid layout — see first post on https://newissue.wpengine.com/weekly-content/amuse-bouche/ for example) — they’re just not working in the Magazine element (see https://prnt.sc/20xty1r ). Nevertheless, I did try adding your snippet, and I added a br to the list of allowed tags at the top, but it didn’t seem to work. Any other ideas? Thanks again!
Awesome! So, when the next version is released, I should look for the filter somewhere around here? https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/blog-post/#post-with-meta-data-below-title — is that the best way to find the new filter?
Thanks, Ismael, but to be clear re your last sentence, the client is defining the excerpts manually. And again, the line breaks aren’t being stripped out in the Blog Posts element (at least not in the Single author, small preview pic layout); only in the Magazine element.
Thanks, Mike, but putting the whole edited file in the child theme doesn’t seem like such a great solution, to me — I wouldn’t want to miss out on other updates to that file, as the theme is updated — know what I mean?
I need to show the authors instead of the dates in the blog grid on my client’s site: https://newissue.wpengine.com/weekly-content/blog/, and I got this to work for me by replacing the time lines on 927-928 with:
$author = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $entry->post_author ); $meta .= "<span class='slide-meta-author updated'>" . $author."</span>";So, thank you, but is there any way this could be handled via the child theme?
I needed the same thing; to limit the custom excerpt length in the blog element grid view, and Ismael’s function worked for me — thanks, Ismael! Only problem is it’s breaking in the middle of words — what’s the trick to limit the number of words, as opposed to characters, or to prevent the excerpts from breaking in the middle of words? Here’s the page I’m working on https://newissue.wpengine.com/weekly-content/blog/
Hey Ismael, I just realized I never replied to you here — partly because this sounds over my head, so I think I’ll let it slide, for now. But thanks as always for the reply and effort on your end. I’ll keep this in my back pocket in case I need to dig back into it. You can close this ticket for now, if you want.
Thanks so much, Ismael. I couldn’t get it to work, but we can hold off on this for now — I’ll get back to you once I confirm we absolutely need to do this. Meanwhile, maybe you can just confirm for me — if we do figure this out, can it be handled via the child theme? I guess not, eh? Thanks again.
Thanks, Ismael. Adding the role attribute looks pretty straight-forward, but working in the aria-expanded true/false it pretty far over my head — any way you could provide any further guidance on that one? And is there any chance either of these things could be handled via the child theme? Thanks again, and as always ;)
Hey Mike, thanks so much for looking into this and sharing with the dev team!! The accessibility review doesn’t seem to reference specific guidelines for this issue — I can ask them about that; I think we’re setting up another review with them within a couple of weeks. I would guess having the menu close once the user tabs out of it would be a significant improvement, at least., but I’ll definitely let you know what they say when I find out. FYI, this is the accessibility firm my client’s using, and you can see their mobile menu works in the way they describe — maybe that could provide a clue re how to program it? https://convergeaccessibility.com/ Anyway, thanks again for taking this question seriously :)
