Hi,

Did you use the advance layout builder for the posts? If you did, you have to specify the excerpts manually. Please post the FTP details in the private field. We would like to check it.

Hi,

I can’t connect to the server. It’s timing out. We did the suggestion in the previous thread and it is working. Please try it again.

Hi,

Please look for this code.

$image = “”;
$extraClass = “av-magazine-no-thumb”;
$excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( ‘avf_magazine_excerpt_length’ , 60) , apply_filters( ‘avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter’ , ” “), “…”, true, ”);

The $excerpt should be outside the curly braces.

if($style == 'small')
			{
				if(empty($this->atts['thumbnails']))
				{
					 $image = "";
					 $extraClass = "av-magazine-no-thumb";
				}
$excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');
			}
			else
			{
				$excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');
			}

Hi,

Please remove that code from the functions.php file. Edit the magazine.php file agian, look for this code:

$output .= "<div class='av-magazine-content entry-content' {$markupContent}>{$excerpt}</div>";

Replace it with the code.

$output .= "<div class='av-magazine-content entry-content' {$markupContent}>{$excerpt}<a href='".get_permalink($entry->ID)."' class='more-link'>".__('Read more','avia_framework')."<span class='more-link-arrow'>&rarr;</span></a></div>";

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

1.) Remove the second arrow with this.

.av-magazine-content .more-link-arrow:after {
    display: none;
}

2.) Wrap the excerpt with the paragraph tag.

$output .= "<div class='av-magazine-content entry-content' {$markupContent}><p>{$excerpt}</p><a href='".get_permalink($entry->ID)."' class='more-link'>".__('Read more','avia_framework')."<span class='more-link-arrow'>&rarr;</span></a></div>";

3.) Look for the previous modification.

$excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');

Replace it with:

$excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "", true, '');

Hi,

1.) Please remove the css code then look for this character code in the “excerpt” modification.

Remove it.

Hi,

No problem. Please feel free to open a new thread if you need anything else.

Hi,

Thank you for the inquiry.

You can remove the dots directly from the “avia_backend_truncate” function or use the “avf_magazine_excerpt_delimiter” to replace it with something else, a blank space for example. If in case the filter didn’t work, try to use the excerpt_more filter.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

We are actually referring to the “avia_backend_truncate” in the magazine.php file. It’s included in the line of code you posted above. The dots can be removed or replaced directly from that function.

Ismael

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Did you modify the magazine.php file before? Try to look for the another $excerpt variable in the magazine.php file and once again, try to remove the dots in the “avia_backend_truncate” function. Maybe that is where the dots are coming from.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Where can we see the issue? If possible, please create a new thread or ticket and provide all necessary details in the private field. We’ll close this thread for now.

Ismael

Hi,

We are not really sure how those dots got there. Are you sure that you didn’t define the excerpt of that post manually? It will only be added when a post contains an excerpt.

Thank you for the update.

Best regards,
Ismael
