Title: Elementor Buttons Text Last modified: March 10, 2021 --- # Elementor Buttons Text * [andrasch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrasch/) * (@andrasch) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-buttons-text/) * Hello guys * I am trying to build a site by using the free Elementor. I have added some buttons to my posts and pages, which helps navigating between each other. Also I use the search element of elementors Header, Footer and Blocks plugin. So when I tested this search element by typing a word, I got to the posts that contains this word. However the excerpts of these posts show the button text as well and not only the word that I typed in the search field. Obviously the text of the search button is not part of the post content so it is strange to see the button texts in the excerpts. Whats the best way to sort this out? Please note that I am a beginner so coding is not an option for me, I am afraid Many thanks for your advise Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Thread Starter [andrasch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrasch/) * (@andrasch) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-buttons-text/#post-14177213) * Can I please get an advise regarding the above? Why do excerpts include button texts? How can I exclude them? Button texts are not part of the post contents, therefore it is weird to see the button texts in the excerpts. The buttons have been created with the free Elementor. Whats the best way to sort this out?

So on the top right corner, in the header there is a search icon (Circled with yellow). if i type a word in the search field I get to the search results. This is what you can see. Where you read “Chicago” or “British Columbia”, those are the post titles. The words marked with red look like the part of the excerpts and are the button texts such as previous post, next post and exit to previous page. Anything comes after the red circle are the post content. * So my questions are 1: how can I remove the button texts? 2. if question 1 is a difficult task how can I remove the whole excerpts? 3. how can I remove ‘continue reading’? * Any questions, please let me know Thanks very much - This reply was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by [andrasch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrasch/). * Thread Starter [andrasch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrasch/) * (@andrasch) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-buttons-text/#post-14214399) * Guys, Can someone please reply and advise?

I finally managed to get a reply, it wasn’t very helpful though. They suggested adding a custom excerpt, but if you add that and save it again the page forgets that it is an elementorpage and lose all formating. * However, I found a plugin, that hasn’t been updated in a long time, but it did enable you to add custom excerpt and save it from quick edit. There might be some newer plugin that does the same thing but this works even though it throws up some php errors in the dashboard. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-bulkquick-edit/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-bulkquick-edit/) * Thread Starter [andrasch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrasch/) * (@andrasch) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-buttons-text/page/2/#post-14510517) * thanks very much. I will give a try. In the meantime I tried other plugins but unfortunately all of them were showing the button texts in the search results( excerpts), so none of them resolved my problem. I really hope this one will. if not, then probably I am using something incorrectly. * [kingfelix23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingfelix23/) * (@kingfelix23) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-buttons-text/page/2/#post-14513777) * This solution works. I already tried it out. And it is better to be able to have custom excerpts anyway. * . My only worry is that the plugin is very old and contain a lot of decrepit code so it might stop working all together with future PHP upgrades. * I am just hoping that Elementor will enable you to edit this part of posts in a future update just like you can access other stuff right now. There is no reason why you aren’t able to edit excerpts slugs etc through Elementor Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘Elementor Buttons Text’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/elementor/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3444228) * [Elementor Website Builder - more than just a page builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/reviews/) * 13 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [kingfelix23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingfelix23/) * Last activity: [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elementor-buttons-text/page/2/#post-14513777) * Status: not resolved
