Hi,

Please note that Big grids do not have this option to display the excerpt, this option is only for flex blocks and blocks.

Thank you for your understanding!

But I really want it. Would you please suggest something so that I can enable this option. Would you please suggest some code?

Hi,

If you want to add the excerpt to that grid, you need to make some changes in theme core in two files wp-content/plugins/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_mx5.php and td_module_mx6.php you need to add this code ->
<?php echo $this->get_excerpt(10);?>
The number 10 represent the length of excerpt.

Hi,

I want to some similar changes to Grids and Blocks. If they are saved under /wp-content/plugins/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/includes/modules/ are they still save when the theme updates? I ask, because it’s not in the themes-folder, so I probably cannot apply these changes just to a child-theme?

How could I handle this best, to be save for the future?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

Please note that by default the big grids do not display the excerpts, this can be done only if you make changes in theme files, also these changes can not be set in a child theme, therefore will be lost when you’ll make a theme update, the only way is to set back the code after you make the update.

First, thanks for your help. But you linked to the same topic, where we are right now. Which other topic did you mean?

Thank you!

Hi,

I think that I make a mistake with the link, please provide me a link to your website and I will provide the right path where you need to make the changes, but note that these will be lost when you’ll make a theme update.

Thank you for your understanding!
