Use Excerpts for Feature boxes

[Elizabeth]

In the Naturo theme, I would like to use a manual excerpt for the feature boxes on the home page. I have added excerpts to the pages that are used, but I still see the page text, not the excerpts: http://peridot.ebdesignonline.com/

Thanks!

Hi Elizabeth,

Kindly go to function.php and find this get_the_content

replace it with this get_the_excerpt

If you still having a issue with this let us know.

Hi. I am using the IT consultant pro theme and would like to display the page excerpts in the feature boxes on the front page. I tried the functions.php route as described above but there is no “get_the_content” funtcion to replace…

How is it done in the IT consultant pro theme?

Hi Limont,

Kindly go to page-box.php and find this code
<p><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), of_get_option('pagecontentlimit'), '' ); ?></p>

And replace it with this code
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Regards,
Brad
