Blog Excerpt not working

Hi ClaireBrummell!

Have you tried using the built-in, read more on the wp content manager ? i think this will definably solve your problem.

Let us know if this help,

Cheers!

Hey!

Please try to deactivate all plugins and check if the “read more” feature starts to work. If yes a plugin breaks it and you must activate the plugins one by one to find the culprit. If this doesn’t solve the issue please create me an admin account and post the login credentials as private reply.

Best regards,
Peter

Hey!

Yes, you’re using v2.7.1 now which is the latest version.

Hi!

Did you use the read more quicktag ( http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ ) to separate the excerpt from the rest of the content? You can also use the “excerpt” option field on the post editor page to insert a custom excerpt text but if you’re using the default blog template you need to add this code to your child theme functions.php file or enfold/functions.php:

add_filter( 'post-format-standard', 'avia_category_content_filter', 15, 1);
function avia_category_content_filter($current_post)
{
if(!is_single())
{
	$current_post['content'] =  get_the_excerpt();
	$current_post['content'] .= '<div class="read-more-link"><a href="'.get_permalink().'" class="more-link">'.__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow">  &rarr;</span></a></div>';
}
return $current_post;
}

to query the excerpt from the “excerpt” field.

Cheers!
Peter
