Hello,

I’ve done a clean install but not from / via a demo. Now the problem is I cannot seem to get the post Excerpt to display.

Am I missing something? I am using latest newsmag theme with default template.

Thank you.

Hi

I’ve checked your site and the excerpt are displayed fine now: http://screencast.com/t/BsWQcwwE IF this is not what you mean or you still have this issue please provide a specific link where I can inspect it.

Thanks!

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for checking but no it’s not that site. This one is with Newmag theme and a sample post is this (just remove spaces)

aha, found it… I sort of remember with newspaper theme I had the same problem.

I had to edit loop-single.php and I added this:

<?php
// TDM modify to add excerpt
if (!empty($td_mod_single->post->post_excerpt)) { ?>
<p class="td-post-sub-title"><?php echo $td_mod_single->post->post_excerpt;?></p>
<?php } ?>

Just before this:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_content();?>
That way the excerpt will display just below the image. I would think for the different styles (I am using default) you just need to move it up or down to fit where you want it to display.

Solution posted in case someone else needs it. HAPPY DAYS! 😉
