Excerpts on specific pages only

[Kyle Anthony]

I customized the plug in to not show excerpts, but I want to show on specific pages now. Is their a way I can customize the plugin to show excerpts on specific pages only?

Hi Kyle,

Can you let me know how you have removed the excerpt currently ?

Thanks

To be honest, I dont remember exactly. I went in and erased the code it in the editor. I can always reinstall it if there is way to change the code instead of erase it.

I edited the wp-masonry-layout/themes/default/layout.php file. I did not delete, but i did edit and note what i made inactive. See below

<!– THIS IS FOR EXCERPTS <div class=”wmle_post_excerpt”>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?> –>

Hi Kyle,

Please don’t do that. Please go through this thread. You will have idea of it.

https://www.masonrylayout.com/forums/topic/removing-from-posts-without-content/. There it is used if (is_tag()) { but in place of that you need to use if (is_page(‘YOUR_PAGE_SLUG_HERE’)) { for your page wise condition.

Thanks

I am sorry, I am not understanding what I need to add.

Hi Kyle,

You need to keep this in your functions.php file.

add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
function my_excerpt_length($length) {
   if (is_page('YOUR_PAGE_SLUG_HERE')) {
        return 100; // Show excerpt
    } else {
        return 0; // Don't show excerpt
    }
}

Thanks
