    Hi,

    We import press releases from a distributor via a plugin. These are collected into WordPress as “custom posts” (I’m not the developer on this, and describe as best as I can 😅). I use a shortcode to present these posts on the website. The post template that comes with the plugin is very basic (understandable) and just display the content basically. But since I want the look of the website, side bars etc, we copied the Enfold template in the child theme-folder and added the missing parts from the plugin. Everything works very well, except that the excerpts don’t render.

    I can see that the press releases has been imported in full, including the excerpts, since it’s editable in the WordPress admin when I edit the custom post.

    To solve this we also copied the includes/loop-index.php file and added these lines (on line 136), and after that everything worked well.

    `if (get_post_type() === ‘cision_block_post’) {
    $current_post[‘content’] = get_the_excerpt() . get_the_content();
    }

    However, if the main theme updates any of those files in the future I might miss important stuff. Is there a better way of solving this than use the method above?

    Hey Jimmy,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    You might be able to use the avf_the_content filter in the child theme’s functions.php file. For example:

    function avf_the_content_mod($content, $context)
{
    if (get_post_type() === 'cision_block_post' && $context === 'loop_index') {
        $content = get_the_excerpt() . get_the_content();
    }
    return $content;
}
add_filter('avf_the_content', 'avf_the_content_mod', 10, 2);

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Thanks! That looks like a better way of doing it! It worked well except that the post Headline wasn’t wrapped with <h1> tags anymore. Is it possible to add that as well?

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    We may need to view the site to properly check the issue with the heading tags. Please provide the site URL or a direct link to the post in the private field.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Added the link below in the private field. You can see that the Headline is not wrapped in anything but the <div>

    I made the excerpt bold by adding that to the code you provided.

    maybe it has to do with the default strip_tags option on many excerpts ( post_excerpt )
    or that function avia_backend_truncate often used in enfold to filter strings.

    PS try <strong> instead of <b>
    strong , em and span are excluded tags from strip_tags

    Hi,
    Thank you for the link to your site, I don’t know how to correct this in your vendor function, but this javascript will change the div into a H1.
    Try adding this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance â–¸ Editor:

    function cision_title_heading() { ?>
  <script>
(function($){
    var el = document.querySelector('.single-cision_block_post .entry-content-header .av-heading-wrapper');
    el.outerHTML = '<h1 class="av-heading-wrapper ">' + el.innerHTML + '</h1>';
})(jQuery);
</script>
  <?php
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'cision_title_heading', 99 );

    Best regards,
    Mike
