Blog layout wiht read more

Hey AdriaWave!

The category/archive/blog pages use the read more quicktag ( http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ ) to separate the excerpt from the content. You can also use the “excerpt” option field on the post editor page to insert a custom excerpt text but 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($current_post)
{
	if(!is_single() && empty($current_post['post_type']))
	{
		$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!

Hi!

You can use the code I posted here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-layout-wiht-read-more/#post-283436 to fetch the excerpt from the “excerpt” option field.

@AdriaWave – I edited the code a bit and now it should not break the masonry grid.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi!

Yes, if you’re using the template builder you can’t use the “read more” quicktag or generate an automatic excerpt from the content. You must use the excerpt field instead: http://www.clipular.com/c/6700337549279232.png?k=DxIUQQ30PNayVKQ3-5gTYAdxMOY .
