how Make the shortcodes executable in the summaries

Hi,

Go to WP admin > Settings > Excerpt. In there you’ll see the option called “Strip Shortcodes”, disable it.

Hello! Thanks,
But it is olready disabled, but does not read shortcode,
Realy the pluginn seems to have no effect on the site…

If the plugin has no affect at all it’s possible that the theme is not handling the excerpts the way it’s required in WordPress. Which theme are you using?

I use Enfold, with Avia Layout builder

Hi,

Those types of themes ( complex multipurpose themes ) tend to handle things in their own way. The plugin expects the regular WordPress method of excerpt display in themes.

Since you’re a customer of Enfold you have access to their premium support. Ask them how to change the excerpt length. And let me know what they answer, based on the answer I’ll know if they are going with the regular WordPress way of displaying the excerpt or they’re going with their own method.

Hi I was finally able to get the answer:
Hey,

Please add following code to bottom of functions.php file of your child theme – https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/child-theme/

add_filter (‘avf_postgrid_excerpt_length’, ‘avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length’, 10, 1);
function avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length ($ length)
{
??? $ length = 100;
??? return $ length;
}

I hope in a prompt reply…

Hi,

Yeah, seems like they’re applying their own filters in there. Otherwise that filter name would be “excerpt_length” not “avf_postgrid_excerpt_length”.

I’ve sent them a message asking for a copy of the theme for testing purposes, so we can figure out what’s going on and what can be done.

Hello!
Okay perfect, so you have to wait for your news?
Best regards

Hi,

Yeah, I need to wait for them to send over a copy of the theme, I’ll set it up on my server to be able to see the issue and figure out what’s going on.

By the way, the URL to your website would be great, so I can see how you created the page (since those kind of themes allow a lot of different ways and layouts) and replicate it on my installation.

Just to mention, haven’t heard back from them yet.

As for sending over the URL, if you can’t share it publicly you can send it over via the contact form on wpkube.com/contact/

Just include the following at the top of the message:

“In regards to support request at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-make-the-shortcodes-executable-in-the-summaries/”

Many thanks for your reply,
I have sent dere: wpkube.com/contact/ My request

Unfortunately I still haven’t heard back from the theme author.

Perhaps it’s best to contact them and ask them about the theme’s compatibility with Advanced Excerpt plugin. Our plugin is free so they have access to it and can test it out.
