try go to customize->home featured category->layout & style->How many text count for each post, resave it.
or go to customize->general->posts->text excerpt count
I have tried both suggestions and it still is not using the Excerpts.
try save it couple of time..
I have reset the customizer and saved multiple times changing excerpt length each time. It is still not showing exerpts.
that’s odd, are you using child theme? maybe need to edit/update template.
any live site i can check?
I am not using a child theme. You can check the live site here: http://ethanvanderbuilt.com/
they are showing fine to me in both home and search. is it cache issue earlier? try clear your site or browser cache.
Let me give you an example. For my welcome post the excerpt is “Welcome! Don’t miss my regular videos about how to avoid internet money making scams and powerful opinions on business.”.
What is showing on the home page is the first part of the post: “Welcome! Click the Scams menu at the top of the screen to see if your business opportunity is a scam. Subscribe below to receive my regular information about how to avoid internet money making scams and powerful opinions on business. I respect your…”
It is not working correctly and I have tested on multiple machines and I have cleared the cache.
It seems the issue is that Mesocolumn is not using my manual excerpts.
it could, using custom field key ‘post_custom_text’.
add a new custom field key – post_custom_text
*tick screen option custom field if you did not see the custom field meta box.
add value – your custom text
save/update the post.
Where would I place this custom field key in the code to have Mesocolumn use it instead of what it is currently doing?
or edit lib/functions/theme-functions.php line 377
$custom_text = get_post_meta($post->ID,’post_custom_text’,true);
to
$custom_text = get_post_field(‘post_excerpt’,$post->ID);
Thank you very much. The theme-functions.php change did the trick. I opened the file with FTP made the change and saved the file. Now it is working perfectly for me.
