    Hi,

    I’m using manual excerpts with each post.
    How can I add these manual excerpts to the related posts?

    ———- (1) ———-

    I found this snippet from @Yigit, but I don’t know, if this works right with MANUAL (individual) excerpts:
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/add-excerpt-text-in-the-related-post-field/#post-691749

    add_filter('avf_related_post_loop','avia_related_excerpt');
function avia_related_excerpt() { 
  $excerpt = get_the_excerpt( $post );
  $output = "<span class='related-excerpt'>".$excerpt."</span>";
  return $output;
}

    but this snippet makes a mess in my related posts:

    EDIT: it seems that this snippet adds the manual excerpt to the “related posts” of the post you are currently viewing!

    ———- (2) ———-

    The suggested CSS

    strong.av-related-title {
    float: left;
}
span.related-excerpt {
    float: right;
}

    are acting weird: the thumbnail of the related posts is not at the right place:

    Any ideas please?
    Thank you.

    Hey Chris,

    Try this code:

    
add_filter('avf_related_post_loop','avia_related_excerpt');
function avia_related_excerpt($related_post) { 
  $excerpt = get_the_excerpt( $related_post );
  $output = "<span class='related-excerpt'>".$excerpt."</span>";
  return $output;
}

    If you need further assistance please let us know.
    Best regards,
    Victoria

    Thanks, but that snippet has no other effect than the first one I mentioned above:

    The manual/individual excerpts texts are the same, although there are 3 different (!) posts, as you can see in the screenshot.
    See the posts and backend in the private data above please. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    Please remove the previous css modifications then follow these steps.

    1.) Add this code in the functions.php file:

    add_filter('avf_related_post_loop','avf_related_post_loop_excerpt_mod', 10, 2);
function avf_related_post_loop_excerpt_mod($output, $related_post) {
  $output = "<span class='related-excerpt'>".$related_post->post_excerpt."</span>";
  return $output;
}

    2.) And this code in the Quick CSS field.

    .related-excerpt {
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle;
    padding: 5px 15px;
    line-height: 1.2em;
}

    3.) Smile. :)

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Thank you very much, Ismael, it works fine in that way, that now the right excerpt is together with the right post(title).
    Just one thing please:

    how can I place the excerpt below and aligned with the title like this Photoshop composing:
    title over the whole width and excerpt text below it and aligned left with the title:

    I tried it with your CSS and “float: left;” but for some reason this does not work. Do you have any idea how to modify the CSS? Thanks a lot!

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    Please replace the css code with the following.

    #top .av-related-style-full .av-related-title, #top .av-related-style-full .related-excerpt {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    top: -20px;   
}

#top .av-related-style-full .related-excerpt {
    color: #444444;
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 140%;
    padding: 5px 15px;
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Thank you very much, works fine, Ismael!

    Can I limit the related posts below a post
    to always only 4 related posts?

    Great, I got it with the limitation from your snippet here:

    How to change Related Item Count on Blog Layout

    and changed there
    'columns' => 6,
    to
    'columns' => 4,

    Great, I’m happy with the result, appreciate your help, Ismael!
