The reason for the 0 length is simply to get access to the read more link without displaying the content, since I’m displaying it with [excerpt].

Strange. I made the custom field with the Types plugin (https://wp-types.com) but it didn’t work. So I downloaded the Advanced Custom Fields plugin and it worked.

Thanks for your help. I’ll leave a good review.

Thanks for your reply. Using the Excerpt box strips all the html so that is not a solution. However, your second option sounds interesting, but I just can’t seem to get it to work. I’ve created a custom field called “custom excerpt”, but not sure what shortcode to use to display it? Can you give an example?

Thanks,
Adrian

I managed to find a way a way around this. I just added a [content] after [excerpt] and gave it a length of 0. Not the most intuitive way, but with a plugin as power as this, you can often achieve amazing things if you think outside the box.

Here is what I end up doing for those interested:

[field excerpt][content length=”0″ more=” … Read more”]

Don’t worry, I found the problem. There must be a conflict with accessing the tmp directiory on my XAMPP install. Since it is a testing server, I just set all the permissions to read/write.

Ewout I just saw the update you pushed through and after updating this has fixed the issue. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Ewout,

Thanks for your quick reply. I put the new code in but unfortunately it is still not working. Below is what my wpmenucart.js file looks like now:

[ Moderator note: please wrap code in backticks or use the code button. Don’t use blockquote. ]

/*
 * JS for WPEC and EDD
 */
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  $("input.edd-add-to-cart").click(function(){
      WPMenucart_Timeout();
  });

$(".eshopbutton").click(function(){
      WPMenucart_Timeout();
  });

  function WPMenucart_Timeout() {
      setTimeout(function () { WPMenucart_Load_JS(); }, 1000);
  }

  function WPMenucart_Load_JS() {
    $('#wpmenucartli').load(wpmenucart_ajax.ajaxurl+'?action=wpmenucart_ajax&_wpnonce='+wpmenucart_ajax.nonce);
  }
});

I also changed back to the default wordpress theme but it still didn’t help. Thanks for your help.

Please disregard my original post. I’m not sure what I have done, but for some reason it is now recognising my shipping costs and working as it should. I switched from using custom css to default, but I don’t think this would have effected it. I also switched from country to state and then back to country, but again I can’t see how this would have effected it.
