Basically I want to show the excerpts and “read more” link on my home page, but I want to be in control of where the link appears. Sometimes it needs to be longer than 55 words. I’ve tried 3 workarounds that should work, but nothing changes! All in my child theme.
Tried
1:
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 15;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
No change
2
remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'graphene_auto_excerpt_more' );
function custom_remove_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return '';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_remove_excerpt_more', 999);
No change
3 Changed the setting for the homepage to display full posts, but I can’t afford to have a button (too much space). I used Prasanna’s method from this post: https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/continue-reading-button to change the buttor into the link. Still no changes!!!
What’s happening?
PS I do refresh 5 times and try 2 different browsers.
