Text excerpts – problems with multisite

don’t know, seem ok to me, using ms network installation, also with sub-directory, not sub-domain, and the excerpt is showing in other site(s).

Thanks for checking.

Perhaps this will help: When viewing the page source, the “entry-content feat-content” field appears on the home page of the parent domain (example.com) for each post, while it does not appear on the posts on the home pages of the child domains (example.com/alpha, example.com/beta, etc.). So the excerpt isn’t displaying on those child domain home pages because it isn’t being pulled in at all. (The posts that appear in the slider are coming from a different location on the page, which would explain why they aren’t affected.)

So the issue is one of why ‘entry-content feat-content” is not appearing as it should be. Do you know what could be causing it?

Thanks again.

entry-content feat-content is template html, it will show up no matter what, unless you had edit it etc..
so it might be on the dez_get_custom_excerpt() functions call.

try replace dez_get_custom_excerpt() in index.php or lib/template/home-feat-cat-top or bottom.php with the_excerpt() and see if it show. want to make sure if the dez_get_custom_excerpt() is causing it.

I couldn’t locate `dez_get_custom_excerpt() in index.php or in lib/template/home-feat-cat.php

In lib/template/feat-cat-meta-top.php and lib/template/feat-cat-meta-bottom.php, I replaced:

echo dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($post_custom_excerpt,”); ?></div><?php } ?>

-with-

echo the_excerpt($post_custom_excerpt,”); ?></div><?php } ?>

but that didn’t help.

In content.php, I replaced:

<div class=”entry-content”><?php echo dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($archive_excerpt); ?></div>

-with-

<div class=”entry-content”><?php echo the_excerpt($archive_excerpt); ?></div>

which also didn’t help.

yes, replace
dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($post_custom_excerpt,”);
with
the_excerpt();

*not the_excerpt($archive_excerpt);

i see using wp built in the_excerpt() also did not work.
no clue then, since i mention they work in my end for both main site and sub-directory site in ms.

Unfortunately, replacing

dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($post_custom_excerpt,”);

with

the_excerpt();

also did not work.

Could it possibly be SSL-related? (I don’t see why this would be relevant, but the parent and child sites are all https.)

try use different theme and see if the sub site excerpt work. maybe theme with magazine layout + excerpt.

The excerpts show up on the child sites when using the Twenty Fifteen theme.

Switching from default to magazine layout in Mesocolumn made no difference.

did you try customize->homepage featured category->layout style->post excerpt count->edit number->save.

Thanks, that resolved it.

(What I don’t understand is why it didn’t work before, as I had already tried that previously. I’m starting to think that it was my caching plugin, which I ended up removing completely and reinstalling.)

yeap, sometime you need to save a few time due to customizer ajax request..
