Seem to be having a problem when using with Elegant Themes (Divi) Theme.

Since we don’t have the theme, we can’t reproduce the issue. Have you report the issue to the theme developer?

I’m still having this problem. I have reported it to the theme developer (but I’m fearing that no one wants to help me figure out whether the issue needs something to be resolved on the plugin or the theme end of things.

Here’s an excerpt of the code on the page.php file. I can give you access to log into the site, but I can’t just provide you with a copy of theme since it is a premium theme (from Elegant Themes).

Here’s the except from the page.php file:

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<article id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

<h1 class=”main_title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php
$thumb = ”;

$width = (int) apply_filters( ‘et_pb_index_blog_image_width’, 1080 );

$height = (int) apply_filters( ‘et_pb_index_blog_image_height’, 675 );
$classtext = ‘et_featured_image’;
$titletext = get_the_title();
$thumbnail = get_thumbnail( $width, $height, $classtext, $titletext, $titletext, false, ‘Blogimage’ );
$thumb = $thumbnail[“thumb”];

if ( ‘on’ === et_get_option( ‘divi_page_thumbnails’, ‘false’ ) && ” !== $thumb )
print_thumbnail( $thumb, $thumbnail[“use_timthumb”], $titletext, $width, $height );
?>

<?php endif; ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>
<?php
the_content();

if ( ! $is_page_builder_used )
wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”page-links”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘Divi’ ), ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) );
?>
</div> <!– .entry-content –>

<?php
if ( ! $is_page_builder_used && comments_open() && ‘on’ === et_get_option( ‘divi_show_pagescomments’, ‘false’ ) ) comments_template( ”, true );
?>

</article> <!– .et_pb_post –>

<?php endwhile; ?>

I hope this helps to identify what could be causing the issue.

If not, maybe you can tell me what I need to do in order to fix it (on the theme), etc.

Thanks,
Gary

Gary,

Did you ever happen to find a plugin that would accomplish what you need? I’m using Divi 2.4 and want to display a portion of a specific page (or it could be a post) in a specific module. I’d love to find a plugin with a shortcode that I could insert in a home page module, with a read-more link to the full page.

Hi. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you.

I figured out a temporary work around for myself and I’d be happy to share it with you, but I’m not sure it will do what you are describing.

You said “display a portion of a specific page (or it could be a post) in a specific module”.

I simply wanted to use Easy Custom Auto Excerpt (the way it works) but it didn’t seem to work with Divi’s theme and builder system. So .. I had to jimmy a few things.

When you say “display a portion of a specific page” .. this might be different from just displaying a standard “Excerpt” portion, and … when you say “in a specific module” .. I’m not sure ECAE plugin will do this.

But .. aside from that, you might want to look at https://myshortcodes.cramer.co.za/pro-version/. This is the pro version of https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/my-shortcodes/ .

You can write custom html, css, php, javascript .. and then have it do what ever you want, where you want, by placing the shortcode. But this might not do what you’re looking for either.

Let me know.

Gary
