[Resolved] Manual title is below excerpt

Hi there,

Your add_action snippets don’t have priority values set to them so whoever was added first goes before the other one.

But we should be able to control this:

You have this code for excerpt:

//Use excerpt as title WPSP
add_action( 'wpsp_after_content', function( $settings ) {
    if ( 32293 === $settings['list_id'] ) {
        echo '<h2>';
            the_excerpt();
        echo '</h2>';
    }
} );

add ,5 after the }

So it’ll look like this:

//Use excerpt as title WPSP
add_action( 'wpsp_after_content', function( $settings ) {
    if ( 32293 === $settings['list_id'] ) {
        echo '<h2>';
            the_excerpt();
        echo '</h2>';
    }
}, 5 );

For the title, if you want it to go ABOVE the excerpt, add a priority value lower than 5.

Like this:

add_action( 'wpsp_after_content', function( $settings ) {
    if ( 123 === $settings['list_id'] ) {
        echo '<h2>';
            echo get_the_excerpt();
        echo '</h2?';
    }
}, 1 );

if you want it to go BELOW the except, add a priority value higher than 5.

Like this:

add_action( 'wpsp_after_content', function( $settings ) {
    if ( 123 === $settings['list_id'] ) {
        echo '<h2>';
            echo get_the_excerpt();
        echo '</h2?';
    }
}, 10 );

Make sure to pay attention to add_action()‘s priority value. It’s good practice to always add one.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

To clarify: If you’re saying you want to move the default excerpt being displayed by WPSP, there’s no way to do that w/o editing the plugin as it’s hard coded.

If you want your code to appear before the default excerpt, you should change the hook you’re using from wpsp_after_content to wpsp_before_content as this hook appears before the default excerpt as shown here: https://github.com/tomusborne/wp-show-posts/blob/35e410d7800273fc66f211c0f80d553e95d17f83/wp-show-posts.php#L460

You can see here that the default excerpt is hardcoded and comes 8 lines after wpsp_before_content.

No problem. 🙂
