Feature #21987
closedExcerpt Length on posts in Category Archive
0%
Description
Hi All,
Working on the site: https://testworkshop1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/
The home page leads to a series of category archives to showcase TLC workshops, for example: https://testworkshop1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/affect-arts-visual/
On the cat archive pages, I want the category posts to appear as boxes, that a visitor can click into the see more. I have set the excerpt length to 25 chacters but I think something is over riding this function?
See screenshot and https://testworkshop1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/customize.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftestworkshop1.commons.gc.cuny.edu%2Fcategory%2Faccessibility%2F
When you have a chance can someone take a look to see if there is a way to make the excerpt length work or if there is some CSS I can add to make the posts in cate archive more uniform size?
Much appreciated.

It looks like the Neve theme ignores the excerpt length and uses the entire post content if the <!--more--> tag is found in the post content: https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/neve/4.0.1/inc/views/partials/excerpt.php?marks=74-76#L66 You'll have to remove the 'more' tag from posts like this https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/neve/4.0.1/inc/views/partials/excerpt.php?marks=74-76#L66 if you want them to be excerpted on this page.

HI Boone,
Thanks for this info. We will remove the "more tags" and then try to build out page with excerpt length.
I do have one more questions about this site and issues with the NEVE theme.I cannot figure out how to use CSS to make all links underlined. Lack of underlined links is confusing and an access issue.
I have tried various CSS edits and cannot get all links to be underlined throughout the site. The css that seems like it should do this but does not work is:
.nv-comment-content a,
a:not(.button):not(.wp-block-file__button) {
text-decoration: underline;
}
Thanks for any insight you can provide

At the bottom of this page https://testworkshop1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/themes.php?page=simple-css you have some bad CSS comment markers /* ... */ that I believe are causing the declaration at the very bottom of the list to override the text-decoration: underline declaration further up.

Thanks Boone. Sorry for the silly question but I was not sure if it was a bug or CSS issue. This ticket can be closed.
