Hi @palmdream, You can use this plugin for the excerpt issue. For the Read more issue, You can try adding the following code to your Admin Panel > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS field:
p.more-link {
display: none !important;
}
Let me know the outcome 🙂
To truly remove the read more buttons add this to your child theme to overwrite the one in the main theme real-estate-lite-child/sections/service.php
<?php
$title = esc_html( get_theme_mod('service_title'));
$subtitle = esc_html( get_theme_mod('service_sub_title'));
$first = esc_html( get_theme_mod('first_service'));
$second = esc_html( get_theme_mod('second_service'));
$third = esc_html( get_theme_mod('third_service'));
?>
<div class="section service grey">
<div class="grid">
<h2 class="section-title"> <?php echo esc_html( $title) ; ?></h2>
<?php if(!empty($subtitle)) : ?>
<h5 class="section-sub-title"> <?php echo esc_html( $subtitle) ; ?></h5>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
// The Query
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'post__in' => array($first,$second,$third),
'orderby' => 'post__in',
);
$feature = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
if ( $feature->have_posts() ) {
while ( $feature->have_posts() ) {
?><div class="col-4-12"><?php
$feature->the_post();
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<div class='post-thumb'>
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>" >
<?php the_post_thumbnail('real_estate_lite_page_thumb'); ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php the_title('<h2 class="entry-title">', '</h2>'); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php
echo "</div>";
} } else { ?>
<p><?php echo esc_attr( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php }
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
</div>
</div>
An easier way but a bit less clean is to hide the links in the service section like so
.service .read_more {
display: none;
}
To change the excerpt length add this to your child themes functions file and change the number 20 to the length you would like
function wp11539068_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 20;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'wp11539068_excerpt_length', 999 );
