Show full Excerpt
Is it possible to show the full excerpt?
I have the Excerpt Length set to 200 and all page types set to Excerpt but the ellipsis [...] is still appearing. Am I missing anything? |
when does the [...] appear? i.e. after how many words?
|
They appear in different spots:
Information on future [...] Dues are due by October 31, 2009 or you are considered [More...] I just noticed that each of these have the very last word missing. The first one is 'tournaments' and the second one is 'delinquent'. Does this help you? |
what release of Atahualpa and WP?
What is your URL? did you change the ATO->Configure EXCERPTS->Custom read more option from the default? |
Version 3.4.4 on WP 2.8.4.
no url (intranet) It was changed to [<a href="%permalink%">More...</a>] but the same symptoms appear when using the default [...]. |
If I add a few spaces after the last word then the last word appears but with the ellipses.
|
Have you made any changes to the code?
Did you add anything into 'The LOOP'? Do you have anything but the defaults at ATO->Configure EXCERPTS? Have you tried it with all plugins disabled? I can't reproduce this so there is something 'different' from the base install and your site. The trick is figuring out what. |
I'm having the same issue with 3.4.4. No problems with 3.3.2. It looks like the same issue was also found here: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=3512
However, I don't have the events calendar plugin active. Unfortunately, I only have 3.4.4 hosted on a private dev system right now, so I can't show the same behavior just yet. Any known solution? |
I haven't played with this much more, but patching functions.php with the following worked.
From: Code:
if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) { Code:
if (count($words) > $bfa_ata['excerpt_length']) { |
Do you by any chance actually have an excerpt coded in the post?
1) if so, is it longer or shorter than the post and 2) is it longer of shorter than the ATO->Configure EXCERPTS->Excerpt length? |

I've taken a look at the code. Your patch works in most cases, but there are still some problems. I'm going to try and rewrite the routine so it follows the WordPress rules
1) If there's a 'manual excerpt' use it 'as is' regardless of length and put the 'custom read more' after it. 2) if there is no 'manual excerpt', look for a 'teaser' (the <!-more->' tag) and create the excerpt from that and put the 'read more' after it. (note that is different than the 'custom read more') 3) if there is no 'manual excerpt' or 'teaser', create the excerpt based on the excerpt length. after I pass it by Flynn |

there is still a problem where the the Manual excerpt is bigger than the excerpt length (for example:. the number of words in the Manual Excerpt is 60 and the excerpt length is 55) in that case, the last word of the excerpt is still replaced with the [...]
If I can get the code right, that won't be a problem because if you code a manual excerpt, I think it should use the whole thing. |
Same problem here. Whenever I want the full excerpt to be shown I need to add an extra word that gets deleted afterwards when the excerpt is shown. I have started adding to my excerpt entries which works fine, but is a bit of a hassle ^^.
