auto-generated excerpt setting ignored in tiles view
Post

I changed this setting:
By default auto-generated excerpts in WordPress are 55 words long. You can set this length to anything you like:
[...]
to 10 and to 100, but still the excerpt is ended after 55 words in the category view with tiles layout. The More-tag in the text works however as a work around for shorter excerpts. But I want longer excerpts

I'm having difficulty with the Manual excerpts. I can't get it to display the [Read More ...] setting. Nor can I find the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> function referred to by
http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt to add the recommended code, and if I insert the following code at the end of the functions.php file I get the [Read More ...] prompt, but get a 404 error when selecting the link. I've viewed the functions.php for the excerpt function, found Suffusions version, but hesitate to touch it and make it worse
Code: Select all
/**
* DRG - Add "Read More" automatically to manual excerpt entries.
* 8/11/011
*/
function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
global $post;
return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> [ Read More... ]</a>';
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

@ntslsk,
I can get it to work without issues by changing the number of words. Are you on a multilingual site using a multilingual plugin? WP's excerpt functionality has some issues with some of these plugins.
@Doug,
That wouldn't be a theme bug. Post your URL and I can take a look.

I've worked around it by manually editing the code in the manual excerpt box for now. Since you say it isn't in the theme, then it may be an issue because I am using dyndns to point to my home system while I build the site and demo it for the boss. If it still haunts me after I have moved it to the real site, I will post on the issue again with a URL. It may be a faulty setting on my local Apache server.
Thank you for the response.

@Sayontan: no I don't have multilangual plugins installed.
I have a workaround though: I'm using manual excerpts now.
