Post Slider: need to show full story and button content element

Hi lisabarfield!

1) By default excerpts don’t support html code or shortcodes. You can use the do_shortcodes() function to execute shortcodes though. Open up /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider.php and search for

if($loop_counter == 1) $output .= "<div class='slide-entry-wrap'>";

Replace the code with

$excerpt = do_shortcode($excerpt);
if($loop_counter == 1) $output .= "<div class='slide-entry-wrap'>";

2) Replace

if($show_meta && !empty($excerpt))

with

$show_meta = false;
if($show_meta && !empty($excerpt))

3) Did you select the WODs page as blog page (Enfold > Theme Options)? If yes please select another page as blog page otherwise the WODs page will ignore the template builder settings and it will use a special blog template for this page instead.

4) You can place it in the child theme folder. However you must add some code into the child theme functions.php file to overwrite the original parent theme code – see: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/have-easyslider-fill-up-entire-column-with-no-padding-or-margins/#post-205281

Hi!

1) Ok, maybe you’re using another excerpt option. Please search for

$prepare_excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? $entry->post_excerpt : avia_backend_truncate($entry->post_content, apply_filters( 'avf_postgrid_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_postgrid_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');

and replace it with

$prepare_excerpt = !empty($entry->post_excerpt) ? do_shortcode($entry->post_excerpt) : avia_backend_truncate(do_shortcode($entry->post_content), apply_filters( 'avf_postgrid_excerpt_length' , 60) , apply_filters( 'avf_postgrid_excerpt_delimiter' , " "), "…", true, '');

If you always want to show the full content (including html, etc.) replace it with

$prepare_excerpt = do_shortcode($entry->post_content);

3) But the category page for WODS would be http://crossfitcaldwell.com/category/wod/ and not http://crossfitcaldwell.com/wods/
The “archive template” is a special template which lists the latest posts of all categories. If you want to link to the category page just go to Appearance > Menus and add the “WODS” category item to the main menu.

Hey!

Hmmm… not sure why it stopped working especially because the server always executes the same code. Maybe the website was cached and the first code I posted here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/post-slider-need-to-show-full-story-and-button-content-element/#post-207422 worked?
