Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[SOLVED] [BUGFIX 3.4.1->3.4.6] Getting Configure Excerpts to work in all cases

There are two ways to have excerpts using Atahualpa (1) Add an excerpt in the post (dashboard->Posts->Edit->Excerpt) or (2) have Atahualpa create one using the first X number of words in the post (ATO->Configure EXCERPTS->Excerpt length)

When you use method (2) Atahualpa will follow the excerpt with ATO->Configure EXCERPTS->Custom read more, but with option (1) it will not.

the following patch will allow the 'Custom read more' to show up in both cases.

Edit functions.php and locate the following code
in 3.4.1 it should be lines 243-266
in 3.4.2 it should be lines 250-273
HTML Code:
// Custom Excerpts 
function bfa_wp_trim_excerpt($text) { // Fakes an excerpt if needed
	
	global $bfa_ata;
	
	if ( '' == $text ) {
		$text = get_the_content('');
		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
		$text = strip_tags($text, $bfa_ata['dont_strip_excerpts']);
		$excerpt_length = $bfa_ata['excerpt_length'];
		$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
		if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
			array_pop($words);	
			$custom_read_more = str_replace('%permalink%', get_permalink(), $bfa_ata['custom_read_more']);
			$custom_read_more = str_replace('%title%', the_title('','',FALSE), $custom_read_more);
			array_push($words, $custom_read_more);
			$text = implode(' ', $words);
		}
	}
	return $text;
}
remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'bfa_wp_trim_excerpt');
Replace that code with the following
HTML Code:
// Custom Excerpts 
function bfa_wp_trim_excerpt($text) { // Fakes an excerpt if needed
	
	global $bfa_ata;

	if ( '' == $text ) {
		$text = get_the_content('');
		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
		$text = strip_tags($text, $bfa_ata['dont_strip_excerpts']);
		$excerpt_length = $bfa_ata['excerpt_length'];
		$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
	} else {
		$words = explode(' ', $text);
	}

	if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {	
		array_pop($words);	
		$custom_read_more = str_replace('%permalink%', get_permalink(), $bfa_ata['custom_read_more']);
		$custom_read_more = str_replace('%title%', the_title('','',FALSE), $custom_read_more);
		array_push($words, $custom_read_more);
		$text = implode(' ', $words);
	}

	return $text;
}
remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'bfa_wp_trim_excerpt');

I discovered a case that wasn't covered by the previous fix. In reworking it, I've discovered a bug/feature with the standard wordpress code. It all has to do with what do you count as a word? Should HTML that is embedded in a post be part of the excerpt word count? If not, why not? What about shortcodes? If not, couldn't you argue that they just shouldn't be allowed in posts at all?

What if a post has a short code and that short code generates a bunch of text, should that text be part of the wordcount or not? it gets messy.

At any rate, what this change does is
1) use a manual excerpt if it exists.
2) if there is a 'teaser' use that
3) otherwise, create a excerpt based on the ATO excerpt word count - after stripping out all HTML except the things specified in 'Don't strip these tags' - but those 'words' (a word being a string seperated by a blank) count as part of the word count. i.e. the HTML not stripped will be part of the word count.

This fix is for 3.4.4
1) Down load the attached file and unzip it.
2) rename your current 'functions.php', in the atahualpa folder, to 'functions_old.php'
3) copy the new 'functions.php' to your atahualpa folder
that's it
