Hey AliAbabwa,

Please, can you provide your WP credentials?

Hi AliAbabwa,

I see what you mean, can you give us ftp access? so we can check further.

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi,

Thanks for providing admin and ftp access. I have added this php code at the bottom of functions.php:

function avia_get_post_list( $avia_new_query , $excerpt = false) 
{
	global $avia_config;
	$image_size = isset($avia_config['widget_image_size']) ? $avia_config['widget_image_size'] : 'widget';
	$additional_loop = new WP_Query($avia_new_query);

	if($additional_loop->have_posts()) :
	echo '<ul class="news-wrap">';
	while ($additional_loop->have_posts()) : $additional_loop->the_post();

	$format = "";
	if(get_post_type() != 'post') 		$format = get_post_type();
	if(empty($format)) 					$format = get_post_format();
		if(empty($format)) 					$format = 'standard';

	echo '<li class="news-content post-format-'.$format.'">';

	//check for preview images:
	$image = "";

	if(!current_theme_supports('force-post-thumbnails-in-widget'))
		{
		$slides = avia_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slideshow');

		if( $slides != "" && !empty( $slides[0]['slideshow_image'] ) )
		{
			$image = avia_image_by_id($slides[0]['slideshow_image'], 'widget', 'image');
		}
	}

	if(!$image && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ))
	{
		$image = get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), $image_size );
	}

	$time_format = apply_filters( 'avia_widget_time', get_option('date_format')." - ".get_option('time_format'), 'avia_get_post_list' );

	$nothumb = (!$image) ? 'no-news-thumb' : '';

	echo "<a class='news-link' title='".get_the_title()."' href='".get_permalink()."'>";
	echo "<span class='news-thumb $nothumb'>";
	echo $image;
	echo "</span>";
	echo "<strong class='news-headline'>".avia_backend_truncate(get_the_title(), 54," ");
	echo "<span class='news-time'>".get_the_time($time_format)."</span>";
	echo "</strong>";
	echo "</a>";

	if('display title and excerpt' == $excerpt)
	{
		echo "<div class='news-excerpt'>";
		the_excerpt();
		echo "</div>";
	}

	echo '</li>';


	endwhile;
	echo "</ul>";
	wp_reset_postdata();
	endif;
}

Let us know if you need further assistance :)

Hi,

You’re welcome :) Yes, it will be lost during the theme update, I would suggest using a child theme: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/

Hi,

I have modified functions-enfold.php in line 513 from:

$the_title 	= isset($entry->av_custom_title) ? $entry->av_custom_title : avia_backend_truncate(get_the_title($entry->ID),75," ");

to:

$the_title 	= isset($entry->av_custom_title) ? $entry->av_custom_title : avia_backend_truncate(get_the_title($entry->ID),70," ");

Let us know if it’s fixed on your end.

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi,

Try to change 70 to other number from this code that I have changed:

$the_title 	= isset($entry->av_custom_title) ? $entry->av_custom_title : avia_backend_truncate(get_the_title($entry->ID),70," ");

Try to use lower value.

Hi AliAbabwa,

It’s a database encoding issue. Please check which encoding you have?

Hi AliAbabwa,

The issue was that dash you used was using more than one character that’s why if only a part of it is captured by excerpt it doesn’t show the dash instead shows an unknown character and you can see it’s showing properly on some while on other parts it doesn’t.

Hi,

I have adjusted the code, can you check again if it’s good?

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. This is the code I have adjusted: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/bug-in-widjet/#post-888570
I just change the number 70 to any value.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response, I have fixed avia_get_post_list function I have placed on your functions.php, I have changed this part of the code:

echo "<strong class='news-headline'>".avia_backend_truncate(get_the_title(), 50," ");

and replaced it with:

echo "<strong class='news-headline'>";
echo wp_trim_words( get_the_title(), 5, '...' );

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi,

Yes I have checked it. I have made changes jan. 14 and it’s should not be truncating characters instead words so the unknown character shouldn’t show up, if it does, can you point the page or pages?

Nikko

Hi,

Thanks for providing the information, I have modified this code in functions.php:

$the_title 	= isset($entry->av_custom_title) ? $entry->av_custom_title : avia_backend_truncate(get_the_title($entry->ID),60," ");

and replaced it with:

$the_title 	= isset($entry->av_custom_title) ? $entry->av_custom_title : wp_trim_words(get_the_title($entry->ID), 5, '...' );

this should fix it. Hope it’s all good.

Best regards,
Nikko
