Hi Tom,
after having defined the cards layout, I’m trying to create my new landing page.
The problem I encountered is that Elementor shows polaroid in 2 columns. It is below the button “Praktische Tipps”.
Furthermore, the excerpt is defined with 15 words but it is showing more and the “read more” (->) defined in the function file does not show up.
Can you please help to solve this.

OK, I found one problem. It was, that in “columns” of WPSP 2 columns were defined. This did not happend with the Classic Editor.
But the “read more”, which I defined in the functions.php, is missing in categories. It is there when I define pages.

Hi,
Can you please check the problem I have with the categories. As I’ve reported, cards with categories show more than the 15 words defined in the excerpt and the “read more” (->) defined in functions.php is not displayed.

It works correctly with posts and pages. Testpage

Then I have two more things:
On image hover, the post/page title is shown. How can I disable this. (eg Rom Ciam-pino Flug-hafen-transfer …- I need these breaks  for better legibility)
In polaroid, I want to reduce the padding between title and text, how can I do this.

Once more, sorry. I found the problem in categories, it depends on the . How can I trigger this in a way, that in WPSP it shows only the number of words defined in Excerpt length?
The other two things are the post/page title shown on image hover and the padding between title and text in polaroid.

Hi there,

You can tell WPSP to ignore the more tag like this:

add_filter( 'wpsp_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' );

For the image title, try this:

add_filter( 'wpsp_image_title', '__return_empty_string' );

Lastly, try this for the padding:
```
.wpsp-polaroid .wp-show-posts-entry-header {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}
```
Let me know 🙂

Hi Tom,
here the results:

Ignore the more tag: ok

Hide post/page title on image hover: works only, when an image overlay icon is defined. Would it be possible to define a “blank” icon with which I can trigger where to show the title and where not?

Padding: the padding between title and text is reduced now but still too much. How can I reduce the padding above the text?

Thank you 🙂

I’m no longer seeing the title tag. It shouldn’t matter whether the overlay icon is defined or not. Can you remove it for now so I can see the title displaying?

What about this?:
```
.wpsp-polaroid .wp-show-posts-entry-title {
    min-height: auto;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}
```

Hi Tom,
I added a line height like this, otherwise the underscores were cut:
```
.wpsp-polaroid .wp-show-posts-entry-title {
    line-height: 1.2em;
    min-height: auto;
    margin-bottom: 10px
};
```
So this is ok. Thank you.

I removed the image overlay icon from “polaroid with pages” and now you will see the title tag.

I added the image overlay icon to “polaroid with categories” and there you will not see the title tag.

Weird, looking at the code, it really shouldn’t matter.

Maybe try this?:
```
add_action( 'wp', function() {
    add_filter( 'wpsp_image_title', '__return_false' );
} );
```

Hi Tom,
the result is the same as with
add_filter( 'wpsp_image_title', '__return_empty_string' );
=> Title is hidden when image overlay icon is defined.

Above are two cards without overlay (and title), below two cards with overlay (and without title).
I think it would be good to have an empty (transparent) icon.

I just tested this:

add_filter( 'wpsp_image_title', '__return_empty_string' );

It works regardless of whether the overlay icon is active or not. I wonder if you have caching on the site preventing it from working?

I do not know why. I’ve inserted
add_filter( 'wpsp_image_title', '__return_empty_string' );
again and flushed the cache of the site and the browser, but on my test page the title is shown if no overlay icon is set.

Do you have a conflicting function, maybe? Maybe the same filter used elsewhere?

Referring to WPSP, I have the following functions
```
// Read more function in WPSP
add_filter( 'wpsp_ellipses', function() {
    return sprintf( 
        '...<a href="%1$s">&ensp;<strong>-></strong></a>',
        get_permalink()
    );
} );

//Disable read more tag in wpsp
add_filter( 'wpsp_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' );

//Disable image title on hover in wpsp
add_filter( 'wpsp_image_title', '__return_empty_string' );
```
I’ve tested with Elementor and without, but it is the same thing. Would it help if you look directly into the site?

Do you have another site you can test on so we can know for sure whether it’s specific to this site or not?
