Hi guys,
Is it possible to add a couple of lines of excerPt in some of the modules that they are not showing at the moment.
See image attached. I also would like to ask if it’s possible to display tags and not only categories on each new.
Thanks.
Hi,
Please note that not all modules that form blocks and grids, display excerpts. This could only be achieved through modifications to the modules you want, and probably some additional styling.
The modules can be found here in the theme

Some modules display excerpts and some do not

You can try and modify the modules you want, and add the excerpt code from the ones that have this feature.
These modules display only the category of the post, not tags. None of the modules can display tags, they were not designed to do this.
Thanks
Thank you, but can you please let me know how do I add the excerpt into the grids? I can’t find them on that folder you provided.
Thanks.
Hi,
This is an example for Big grid 1 which does not display an excerpt by default. Like I mentioned some block modules display excerpts and others not. Module 2 has an excerpt for example

This code could be copied inside the modules that form the Big grid (MX5 and MX6)

Like this

Notice the length of the excerpt can be controlled in this case by the number that is entered in the parenthesis

The result is like this for the Big grid in question

You can try this method and experiment with the modules you want, and add excerpts. Hope this is somewhat helpful.
Thanks
Thank you so much for your help!
Dear Simion C.
This was really helpful and i suggest this update for the theme. because the theme i used before had this functionality for the headers, display blocks..
* All we need is a Tickable option in blocks and grids whether to display the Excerpt of the post or not. I hope this will help you and Thousands of Clients who use this Amazing Theme.. Hope for the Best and keep up the Good Work guys!!!
Thank You in advance
but i hope when we are updating the theme this amendments will go away and we will have to do this customizations again.. how to do this change without facing that problem?
Anyhow i managed to make changes to the module but i need to make the excerpts of this specific module White colour.. can i know how to do this.. module is mx20 and mx19..
when i use the inspect tool to change the colour of .td-excerpt each and every excerpt change into that colour.. i dont want to do that.. i just want to make the change for the below part..
Hi,
Something like that could be available in a future theme update, but for the moment the functionality is that some modules display an excerpt, others do not. The modules can be customized through a child theme. So you could make the customization in a child theme, that way you will not lose theme in case of theme update

If you manged to implement the excerpts in those modules as shown, you could color them specifically fro those modules

.td_module_mx20 .td-excerpt {
color: yellow
}
Thanks
Wow Thank You very much Simion C.. It Worked really well with Live CSS part
