Author and date tag at end of all announcements

    Hello,

    For the most part, this plugin is great. I’m adding a bit of a twist to it, and using it as a “services” type vertical menu. Therefore, I’m trying to eliminate all of the dates in any post. I have the “date visible” option hidden, as well as the “read more”. However, in all three of my announcement boxes, the very end displays this, “Websites October 31st, 2016ryanhoy.” It displays this text twice, one right after the text I entered, then another one line down. “Websites” was the title of my announcement here.

    Here’s an example of another:

    “FaceBook Marketing
    Position your advertisement in front of an audience that matters. Our tailored FaceBook marketing campaigns are launched to drive customers to you. Choose who sees your ad, where they see it, and how often they see it on FaceBook. FaceBook Marketing October 31st, 2016ryanhoy

    FaceBook Marketing October 31st, 2016ryanhoy”

    My input text ended at “…how often they see it on FaceBook.”

    Let me know if you have a resolution to this.

    Thanks.

    Hi @gcmedia,

    Thanks for reaching out to us with your inquiry! In regards to your issue, are you using the standard Timeline Express container? Or did you customize that at all?

    Does that text only display on announcements? Or does that display on your standard posts as well? It’s possible it’s being appended by your theme. What theme are you currently using, maybe I can test with?

    Is it possible to share a link to the page with the issue? Maybe there is some indicator on the page or in the markup of where that is coming from.

    Yes, I am using the standard container. I installed the custom add-on as well, but it was still present on that container as well. After that, I uninstalled everything, and reinstalled just the basic plugin, still appeared on my announcements.

    My theme is Brooklyn by United Themes. I will put up a page on the site called “Test” with just the [timeline-express] on it, so you can view it. Will be up in about five minutes.

    I appreciate your assistance.

    @gcmedia,

    It does look like it’s the theme that is appending that onto the end of the content. I would imagine that the theme is appending content onto the end of the_excerpt() filter.

    There are a few workarounds, but the easiest and quickest method is to hide it using CSS. If you are familiar with editing your themes style.css file, or adding additional styles via a third party plugin, this fix should be fairly simple.

    You’ll want to use the following bit of CSS to hide the section you don’t want visible:

    .cd-timeline-content .brookly-hatom-data {
   display: none;   
}

    Once added to the style.css file, you can save the file and refresh the page and the additional data should be hidden.

    However, I am still seeing the data appended at the end of the excerpt. It doesn’t look like that is wrapped in any HTML.

    @gcmedia,

    If you’d like to shoot us an email at [email protected], we can take a closer look at your specific theme. It’s possible that the brooklyn theme has some documentation on how to remove that, by unregistering a hook or removing a filter.

    This was resolved via email. In short, this was a Brooklyn theme specific issue. Brooklyn theme was appending additional text using the_content filter, which was appending content onto our excerpts.

    For anyone running into this issue, please take a look at the documentation article we have setup relating to this issue:
    https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/documentation/brooklyn-theme-how-do-i-remove-the-extra-content-added-to-my-timeline-excerpt/

    Thanks again for allowing us to track down and resolve the issue for you!
