Newbie question about Text Exerpts & Author Name

Fri, 12 Aug 2016 21:30:02 +0000

The theme is Twentyfifteen/dogear (a book publisher. I want to make two minor changes.

Increase the size of the text excerpt, it seems to be set at 20 words and I want it 40. The other change is adding the Author name to each post. Right now it says ‘Published on Aug/10 at 2pm’ I want it to say ‘Published on Aug/10 at 2pm by Jim’ (or whoever)

Yes these are incredibly simple things, but I am damned if I can figure them out. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.

Text excerpts – problems with multisite

pch101 — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 19:34:45 +0000

Hi again —

An issue with text excerpts on the latest version of the Mesocolumn theme (v 1.6.5.1) when used with multisite.

I have one website with Mesocolumn that I use for testing and that does not use multisite. That website has no issues.

On a website with multisite that uses subfolders (i.e. example.com, example.com/alpha, example.com/beta, etc.), I have no issues with the website on the parent domain (example.com).

However, on the child websites (example.com/alpha, example.com/beta, etc.), the text excerpts do not appear on the home page. The text excerpts **do** appear in the slider, in the category archives, and in the preview section of Appearance >> Customize, but not on the home page.

Clearing caches does not fix this.

Entering different amounts in Appearance >> Customizing >> General >> Posts >> Enter Post Excerpt Count or leaving it blank does not help.

Making the edit to theme-functions.php described on the following link doesn’t fix it: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/mesocolumn-1651-is-no-longer-showing-excerpts

There is no child theme.

Ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

Dollar sign ($) glitch

pch101 — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 01:33:00 +0000

Hi again –

An odd problem with the latest version of the theme: When there is a dollar sign and a decimal point (period) included in the text excerpt of a post, the amount of money will not appear in either the text excerpt on the home page or on the archive page.

(The post titles are fine; this problem is limited to the text excerpt.)

For example, a text excerpt of “Wells Fargo will pay $1.2 billion” will be displayed as “Wells Fargo will pay $ billion”

If there is no decimal point included in the dollar amount, then it displays correctly. If there is a decimal point/period but no dollar sign, then it also displays correctly. It is the combination of the dollar sign and the decimal point that causes the problem.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Placement of title above text excerpt

phoenix360 — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 18:55:32 +0000

Hi,

I’m trying to get my front page to display a list of posts with text excerpts. I was able to place a thumbnail of the featured image on the left side with the text excerpt on the right side by editing the content.php from my child theme.

Currently, the title of the post is above everything else. I’m trying to move the title so that it is only above the text excerpt on the right side.

Basically, I’m trying to make it look exactly like this: https://www.tzuchi.us/blog/

If there’s a plugin that can also do this, I’d be happy to try it.

Thanks for any help.

Text excerpt not appearing in one post after update to 3.8.13.3

xdementia — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 03:48:38 +0000

This is really weird but the automatic text excerpt doesn’t show up on the very first post on my page and doesn’t seem to show up on new posts after I updated: https://existest.org/ee_v3/

Please help!
