I added the code to my theme’s php file and it didn;t work. However, I am using
the plugin WP Blog and Widget to display these posts so I am unsure if this is the reason.

For reference, here is the code from the pastebin link:

/**
 * Prefix the page/post excerpt with the Site Reviews rating summary
 * Paste this in your active theme's functions.php file.
 * @param string $excerpt
 * @param \WP_Post $post
 * @return string
 */
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', function ($excerpt, $post) {
    $postTypes = ['page','post']; // Replace the values in this array with the desired post_types
    if (in_the_loop() && in_array($post->post_type, $postTypes)) {
        $shortcode = '[site_reviews_summary assigned_to=post_id hide=bars,summary,if_empty]';
        return do_shortcode($shortcode).$excerpt;
    }
    return $excerpt;
}, 10, 2);

Notice that the code uses the in_the_loop function to check that it is only run in The Loop.

Since you are using a widget to display your post excerpts, it will not be using “The Loop”.

You can either remove this check:

if (in_array($post->post_type, $postTypes)) {

Or you can change it to only work if it is not in The Loop:

if (!in_the_loop() && in_array($post->post_type, $postTypes)) {

Also, you will want to make sure that you have changed this line to only include the post types that you want:

$postTypes = ['page','post']; // Replace the values in this array with the desired post_types

I have tried the solutions posted for example

add_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’, function ($excerpt, $post) {
$postTypes = [‘blog_post’]; // Replace the values in this array with the desired post_types
$shortcode = ‘[site_reviews_summary assigned_to=post_id hide=bars,summary,if_empty]’;
return do_shortcode($shortcode).$excerpt;
return $excerpt;
}, 10, 2);

and

/**
* Prefix the page/post excerpt with the Site Reviews rating summary
* Paste this in your active theme’s functions.php file.
* @param string $excerpt
* @param \WP_Post $post
* @return string
*/
add_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’, function ($excerpt, $post) {
$postTypes = [‘blog_post’]; // Replace the values in this array with the desired post_types
if (!in_the_loop() && in_array($post->post_type, $postTypes)) {
$shortcode = ‘[site_reviews_summary assigned_to=post_id hide=bars,summary,if_empty]’;
return do_shortcode($shortcode).$excerpt;
}
return $excerpt;
}, 10, 2);

But nothing appears to show up in the excerpt. I’m unsure whether the plugin is not allowing me to post to the excerpt or my post type is incorrect, I found the post type in the plugins php file.

If you have added a custom excerpt to each of your blog_posts, then the following code should work:

/**
 * Prefix the page/post excerpt with the Site Reviews rating summary
 * Paste this in your active theme's functions.php file.
 * @param string $excerpt
 * @param \WP_Post $post
 * @return string
 */
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', function ($excerpt, $post) {
    if ('blog_post' === $post->post_type) {
        $shortcode = '[site_reviews_summary assigned_to=post_id hide=bars,summary]';
        return do_shortcode($shortcode).$excerpt;
    }
    return $excerpt;
}, 10, 2);

If you have not manually saved a custom except on each blog_post, then this will not work as that plugin generates its own excerpt from the content.

For additional assistance, please contact the support team of the WP Blog and Widget plugin directly. Thanks.
