    Hi Anders,
    First of all: great theme! I especially like the way it integrates with jetpack and its portfolio options.

    There’s one question, however: I’d like to display text excerpts along the featured image thumb for the posts archive pages, as I am using them here for exhibition announcements. Is there a hook for that?

    That would be quite cool when using both normal posts and jetpack portfolio posts, there would be two different types of posts.

    Cheers from Germany,

    Hi @mniggemann,

    Glad you like it! There’s currently not any built-in option to display the post excerpt on archive pages, but it’s definitely something I might add in the future. For now, you can add that output yourself by using a child theme and the eksell_preview_end action hook. The following should work:

    function eksell_child_output_preview_excerpt() {

	global $post;

	$excerpt = get_the_excerpt( $post );

	if ( $excerpt ) echo '<div class="preview-excerpt">' . wpautop( $excerpt ) . '</div>';

}
add_action( 'eksell_preview_end', 'eksell_child_output_preview_excerpt', 20 );

    You might want to add some styling to make the spacing look proper as well.

    Hi Anders,
    Sorry for the late reply! The snippet works great actually, and for everybody attempting sth. similar, here’s the basisc styling I used:

    .preview-excerpt { padding: 1em 0; }

    For some padding, and …

    .post-type-archive-jetpack-portfolio .preview-excerpt { display: none; }

    … to show the excerpts for posts only, but not in jetpack-portfolio custom posts.

    Thanx a lot, you’re the best ??
