Good evening,

Firstly, apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I’ve been on a business trip. Having looked at this with a fresh mind, I in facet didn’t want to disable the preview of the blog. I simply wanted to amend the excerpt, so apologies for the misunderstanding and time you have spent trying to help.

For those who want to know how to create a custom excerpt for a post or page, firstly create a new post/page or open an existing one. At the top right of the screen you will see: “Screen Options”. Click there and then mark the Excerpt option, with this you will activate the manual excerpt. Once you have done this, scroll down and you will see the “Excerpt” section where you can write whatever you want to replace the autogenerated Excerpt.

Cheers for you assistance

Richard

I’ve tried what you suggested but still no joy. Not sure if I’m doing this correctly but i originally put the following in the child style.css

.slider_post_entry p, .slider_post_entry .block-button {display:none;}

The excerpt got removed along with the block button. Then, I amended it to the following:-

.slider_post_entry p .slider_post_entry {display:none;}

Removing the comma and block button command didn’t work; it bring the excerpt back up.

Cheers for you suggestions,

Richard

Hi again,

Your CSS worked. However, ideally I would like the excerpts to be whilst the block button is on show. The majority of the sliders are linked to the pages on the website and would give potential clients the freedom to either click the “view full post ” block button or the corresponding tab at the top of the page.

Sorry if this sounds strange. Just wondered if it could be done.

Many thanks for you help and time,

Richard

The slider is designed to automatically show excerpts of blog posts. If you don’t want it to show those, what would you like to show?

Preferably, I would like the excerpt to be blank, or not to show at all if possible.
