Hello,
in some of my cards I use an excerpt of the first paragraph with a defined number of words.Now I have a particular problem. I want to use in some cases cards as title h2, but not the “long” post title. It shall be a “short title” defined e.g. in the manual excerpt field (or in another custom field).
Is this possible?
Thank you
Hi Tom,
on my new designed homepage the table of content links to cards “overlay” style which show only the page/post title with h2. Sample linkThis is fine for this page.
Now I’m developing another new page, where I don’t want to have the full page or post title in cards but a manually defined title which I insert, maybe, in the excerpt field (I have it already there in pages and posts). I use the manual excerpt nowhere else.
So my idea is to pick up the text of the excerpt field and show it as title h2. Would it be possible to insert a “use excerpt as title” checkbox?
Otherwhise would it be possible to hardcode it in the way that, if the “include title” is unchecked it uses the excerpt as title h2 with a font height to be defined?
Thank you
Hmm, tricky.
I suppose you could disable the title, then do this:
add_action( 'wpsp_after_content', function( $settings ) { if ( 123 === $settings['list_id'] ) { echo '<h2>'; echo get_the_excerpt(); echo '</h2?'; } } );Hi Tom,
the result is strange, you can see it here. In the Elementor preview I see the standard H2 title size + ►►► (see screenshot above), on the page I see normal text color white with ►►►.
The arrows are coded because WPSP is not compatible with Polylang for the read more function.The full code related to WPSP is
//Disable read more tag in wpsp add_filter( 'wpsp_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' ); //Disable image title on hover in wpsp add_filter( 'wpsp_image_title', '__return_empty_string' ); // Read more function in WPSP add_filter( 'wpsp_ellipses', function() { return sprintf( '...<a href="%1$s"> ►►►</a>', get_permalink() ); } ); add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', function( $excerpt ) { if ( has_excerpt( get_the_ID() ) ) { $excerpt .= sprintf( '...<a href="%1$s"> ►►►</a>', get_permalink() ); } return $excerpt; } ); //Use excerpt as title WPSP add_action( 'wpsp_after_content', function( $settings ) { if ( 32293 === $settings['list_id'] ) { echo '<h2>'; the_excerpt(); echo '</h2>'; } } );I forgot
// WPSP show excerpt field on pages add_action( 'wpsp_before_content', function( $settings ) { $meta = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_your_custom_meta_key', true ); if ( isset( $meta ) && '' !== $meta && 23138 == $settings['list_id'] ) { echo $meta; } } );Hmm, try the updated code: https://wpshowposts.com/support/topic/excerpt-as-title/#post-16737
Perfect.
Is it possible to have more ID’s in one action or must I repeat the full code for every ID?
Can I insert the action into an Elements hook or works it only in the functions.php?One mor thing: the manual excerpt shall not substitute the automatic excerpt on the blog pages and not in the normal lists. Basically, the manual excerpt shall only be shown in the lists addressed directly with the action above.
Hi there,
You can use Elements if you want to hook it into every single list, just add the hook name into the Custom Hook field.
OK. I see that the use of the excerpt field is not practical for me. How can I address a custom field as title, e.g.
wpsp_title2You’d do this:
add_action( 'wpsp_after_content', function( $settings ) { $custom_field = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpsp_title2', true ); if ( $custom_field && 32293 === $settings['list_id'] ) { echo '<h2>'; echo $custom_field; echo '</h2>'; } } );
