i try to show the excerpt on a page without content permission.
I looked into the code at /inc/functions-content-permissions.php on line 148 and 149 you where adding the filter to replace the excerpts content with the permission error message. https://github.com/caseproof/members/blob/c6556a93def04d0a6bbf65bad57a2ef3f5e1c729/inc/functions-content-permissions.php#L148

When i display the excerpt directly on the same page the error message comes up double and showing the excerpt would not break the permission in my case.

I tried the following:

add_action('init', 'myPlugin_init');
function myPlugin_init(){
  remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'members_content_permissions_protect', 95);
  remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'members_content_permissions_protect', 95);
}

https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/remove_filter/

but it still shows up.
also i looked into the filter ‘members_post_error_message’ but i can’t determine if its shown at a content, excerpt or comment field.

i would apprechiate any pointer to the right direction

I have a meta description in the head of my WP website that can contain line breaks… The native post excerpt/summary is my meta description for that post, so I’m using get_the_excerpt() to retrieve it.

According to the codex this excerpt should not contain line breaks, all HTML tags should be stripped off.

Before adding preg_replace to replace the line breaks I would like to know what’s happening here? Is it because it’s printed in the head perhaps?

Best would be to not run the juggernout content filter if called when generation an excerpt (As links will be stripped off the excerpt anyway).

Here is the patch I suggest for fixing this, would be nive if this could get included in the next update:

Index: content-autolinks.php
===================================================================
— content-autolinks.php (revision 17536)
+++ content-autolinks.php (revision 27235)
@@ -57,6 +57,12 @@

function autolink_content($content) {

+ // TODO cgaffga: no auto-linker when generating excerpt
+ $stacktrace = debug_backtrace();
+ foreach ($stacktrace as $step) {
+ if($step->function == ‘wp_trim_excerpt’) return;
+ }
+
$links = $this->get_setting(‘links’, array());
if (!count($links)) return $content;

…maybe a setting to activate it would be nice, but I think it’s good to have it always on.

hope this is of help.

Been googling around a bit and can’t find a solution, so wondering if anyone has the answer here. A few people seem to have this problem, but nobody’s posted a fix that I can see here, on StackOverflow, or elsewhere.

I have a shortcode plugin which displays a table of objects (kindof like a product list). The code gets a wp_query ($plant_lists) from a selection of posts in a custom taxonomy, and then loops through building the table, as follows:

   $plant_lists = new WP_Query(array(
        'order'          => 'ASC',
        'orderby' 		 => 'title',
        // menu_order ID
        'plant_list_category'	 => $cat,
        'post_type'      => 'plant_lists',
        'post_status'    => null,
        'nopaging' 	=> 1,
        'posts_per_page' => -10) );

    $plant_shortcode .= '<table class="planttable"><tbody>';
    
    while($plant_lists->have_posts()): $plant_lists->the_post();
        $countPlants++;
        
        $family=get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_plant_lists_family', true );
        
        $theimage=wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(get_the_ID()) , 'plant-image');
        
        $plant_shortcode .= '<tr><td align="center"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><img src="'.$theimage[0].'" alt="" /></a></td>';
        $plant_shortcode .= '<td><div class="plant-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">'. get_the_title().'</a></div>';
        
        $plant_shortcode .= '<div class="plant-excerpt">';

        if($family != NULL){
            $plant_shortcode .= '<p><b>Family: '.$family.'</b></p>';
        }
        
        $plant_shortcode .= '<p>'. get_the_excerpt().'</p>';
        $plant_shortcode .= '</div></td></tr>';
    
    endwhile; // end slideshow loop
    
    
    $plant_shortcode .= '</tbody></table>';

    if ($countPlants == '0') {
        $plant_shortcode = 'No plants are currently posted in this category';
    }
    
    wp_reset_query();

The problem I’m having is that the ‘Continue Reading’ link for each excerpt links to the current page, rather than the page for the post/document. I can’t see any reason that this would happen, and no matter what I try I can’t fix it.

The page in question is here: https://www.pumpkinbeth.com/plants/

Anyone got any ideas?

add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'excerpt_custom_content' );
function excerpt_custom_content($content){
	if( is_post_type_archive('teachings') ) {
		$content .= '<p>custom content</p>';
    	}
    	return $content;
}

that get the custom content to display in the excerpts on the archive pages for my custom post type, but then i ran into a problem when I created a custom taxonomy (book) for my custom post type (teaching), and added a link to my menu to display the posts which selected ‘deuteronomy’ in the ‘book’ taxonomy (so the link looks like this “calvary2sun.com/book/deuteronomy).

To the best of my understanding this is a category archive page, so I entered the code

add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'excerpt_custom_content_cat' );
function excerpt_custom_content_cat($content){
	if(is_category() ) {
		$content .= '<p>custom content</p>';
    	}
    	return $content;
}

in my functions.php but nothing changed on the page.

I’ll also need it to only apply to my custom post type ‘teachings’, so… I’m very much at a loss on this one, and would appreciate any bit of help.

thank you very much for reading this posts and thank you in advance for any help you provide!

Since the upgrade, get_the_excerpt returns a blank string on my index.php

However, if I change code to call the_excerpt (not get_the_excerpt), then the proper excerpt will display. However, it begins with a line break that I don’t want. I think this was the reason I switched the code to get_the_excerpt.

— Relevant code in index.php:

<div class="entry-date"><strong><?php unset($previousday); printf( __( '%1$s – %2$s', 'sandbox' ), the_date( '', '', '', false ), '' ) ?></strong>
			  <?php echo get_the_excerpt( __( 'Read More <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>', 'sandbox' ) ) ?></div>
  <div style="padding-bottom:10px;"></div>

— Relevant code in functions.php (I’ve tried commenting it out to no avail)

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );

— I’ve tried logging out of WP admin, clearing my cache/cookies, different browsers, and disabling all plugins. It did not affect the behaviour.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
PS: I am not a WordPress guru.

get_the_excerpt was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.3 with no alternative available

After disabling the Plugin the error stopped.

What can I do to fix this problem?

For some reason the_excerpt(); and echo get_the_excerpt(); give me the excerpt for the product type and not the product

Here’s my single-product_type.php

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying product category post type
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage FoundationPress
 * @since FoundationPress 1.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

<div class="row">

	<?php do_action( 'foundationpress_before_content' ); ?>

	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
		<article <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

			<?php do_action( 'foundationpress_post_before_entry_content' ); ?>
			<div class="entry-content">

				<div class="row">
					<div class="column">
						<div class="text-center">

						<div class="skinnycol">
							<header class= text-center>
								<h1 class="entry-title brand-color"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
								<?php the_content(); ?>
							</header>
						</div><!--skinnycol-->

					</div><!--column-->
				</div><!--row-->
			</div> <!--entry content-->
			<footer>
				<?php wp_link_pages( array('before' => '<nav id="page-nav"><p>' . __( 'Pages:', 'foundationpress' ), 'after' => '</p></nav>' ) ); ?>
				<p><?php the_tags(); ?></p>
			</footer>
		</article>
	<?php endwhile;?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

	<?php
	$product_types = get_posts(array(
		'post_type' => 'products',
		'posts_per_page' => 5000,
		'meta_query' => array(
			array(
				'key' => 'product_type_dude', // name of custom field
				'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', // matches exaclty "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
				'compare' => 'LIKE'
			)
		)
	));
	?>
	<?php if( $product_types ): ?>
		<ul class="product-list">
		<?php foreach( $product_types as $product ): ?>

		<?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt( $product->ID ); ?>

			<li class="clearfix archive-item">
				<div class="small-12 medium-4 columns">
					<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $product->ID ); ?>">
						<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($product->ID,'thumbnail'); ?>
					</a>
				</div>
				<div class="small-12 medium-8 columns">
					<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $product->ID ); ?>">
						<h4 class="brand-color"><?php echo get_the_title( $product->ID ); ?></h4>
					</a>

					<?php echo get_the_excerpt( $product->ID ); ?>  <!-- why doesn't this work? -->

					</br></br>
					<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $product->ID ); ?>">
						Read more about <?php echo get_the_title( $product->ID ); ?>
					</a>
				</div>
			</li>
			<hr>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>
	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'foundationpress_after_content' ); ?>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

you can see I tried <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?> to no avail.
Why would it call all the right titles, featured images, and permalinks but not the correct excerpt. I tried the_content(); as well and it did the same thing.

Here’s is a link to the page where you can see all the excerpts repeating: https://silence.kevinalves.me/product_type/baffles/
