Hi Alchymyth,

I managed to use the trim-words function and add html around it to achieve what i needed. Thank you very much.

<?php
$page_id = 89;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail( $page_id, $size, $attr );
$title = $page_data->post_title;
$content = $page_data->post_content;
$trimmed_content = wp_trim_words( $content, 20 );
echo '<div class="thumbnail">' . $thumbnail . '</div>';
echo '<div id="slidecontent">';
echo '<h5>' . $title . '</h5>';
echo '<p>' . $trimmed_content . '</p>';
echo '<a class="slidemore" href="'. get_permalink($page_id) . '">MORE</a>';
echo '</div>';
?>

Only problem now is that this pulls through the headings written on each page. An example of this is at: https://upg.phillipvale.com.au/

In the mining slide that you can see in the top left corner. I don’t want to display the text “THIS IS THE MINING HEADING.”
I was previously hiding this with css and display=none; Is there a way to start the trim_words from the fullstop in the heading?

Confusing, but I thought I would just ask. ??

Thank you,

Phil

Hi alchymyth,

I looked at the page above. Thank you for your help.

Although this strips out all of the html tags. Is there a way to keep the html styling and still limit the content? I just need the <h3> and <h4> tags to still work on the static page.

<?php
$page_id = 89;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$title = $page_data->post_title;
$content = $page_data->post_content;
echo '<h5>' . $title . '</h5>';
$trimmed_content = wp_trim_words( $content, 40, '<a href="'. get_permalink() .'"> ...Read More</a>' );
echo $trimmed_content;
?>

Thank you,

Hi there,

Desperate to fix this! Please help!

The site has been working perfectly but now variable product is disabling the AJAX animation that reveals the Add to Cart once size is selected.

The site is: https://mattillidge.phillipvale.com.au/

Any help would be much appreciated,

Phil

EPIC FAIL…

The URL settings in Dashboard>General were referencing https://phillipvale.com/roostersfootballclub.

Sorry for wasting everyones time. ??

Hi,

The site https://www.epjru.com.au/ seems to work fine.

But when I click through on the Side menu it reverts back to https://www.phillipvale.com/roostersfootballclub/

epjru.com.au is an addon domain to my server and phillipvale.com is the primary domain.

Please help me guys! This client is getting cranky!

Thanks,

Phillustration

Hi again,

Should I change https://phillipvale.com to be in it’s own directory?

Thanks,

Hi Nasir Zia,

Thanks for the help. No, I don’t think these would be considered custom links. These are just menu items created in the dashboard when the user creates pages.

Thanks,

Phillustration.

hi james.

thank you! worked a treat.

Reuben,

My apologies. This has worked perfectly.

I placed the correction in the wrong section.

Is there a way to produce a read more link under the content without having to code in a link using ?

Thanks.

Hi Reuben,

Thanks for that. Unfortunately all that this has done is format the text properly.

Before it was all a continuous line of text, now it is using paragraphs.

I am really stuck on this one!

This is what my code looks like now:

<h2 class="entry-title">

	<a href="https://www.phillipvale.com/?page_id=4">

		<?php
		$page_id = 4;
		$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
		$title = $page_data->post_title;
		echo $page_data->post_title;
		?>

	</a>

	</h2>

		<?php
		$page_id = 4;
		$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
		$the_content = apply_filters('the_content',$page_data->post_content);
		echo $the_content;
		?>

Thanks again.

Thanks for you help vtxyzzy.

However, it still doesn’t seem to be working.

I have pasted the code as it looks now below, i’m not sure if i’m doing something wrong?

<h2 class="entry-title">

	<a href="https://www.phillipvale.com/?page_id=2">

		<?php
		$page_id = 2;
		$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
		$title = $page_data->post_title;
		echo $page_data->post_title;
		?>

	</a>

	</h2>

    	<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
		<?php
		$page_id = 2;
		$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
		$the_content = apply_filters('the_content',$page_data->post_content);
		echo $page_data->post_content;
		?>

Is there anywhere else on the site that i need to clarify $the_content ?

Thanks for you help again.

Hi esmi,

Thanks for this link, I’m afraid I am still confused though.

The Codex page says to add the code:

<?php
global $more;
$more = 0;
?>

Before the content tag:

<?php the_content('Continue Reading'); ?>

Forgive, but will this appear like this?

<?php
global $more;
$more = 0;
?>
<?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$title = $page_data->post_title;
echo $page_data->post_title;
?>
<?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$content = $page_data->post_content;
echo $page_data->post_content;
?>

Hi Imcgowan,

First time I have tried to help someone on this so bare with me.

To set pages as a static page:

1. Create the page that you want to have as a static page e.g. home
2. Select Settings -> Reading
a. Select the Static page option
b. Choose the page that you want as your static page
c. Choose the page that you want as your blog page

Hope that helps. ??

Fantastic! Thanks ambrosite.

Works a treat! I wish I had thought to use the forum sooner….
