Today I’ve written a small plugin that displays excerpts in WordPress with style. Download it here.
It’s just a small plugin that I really needed for my current project. Choose after how many words or characters the excerpt should cut off, and choose the cutoff character.
If anyone wants more options, drop a comment!
Hi! You know, I’m migrating from movable type, where if no excerpt is specified, you can create it from the content… so I’d need something similar because I don’t have any excerpt defined at the moment.
I used this plugin but no excerpt is shown… actually the documentation doesn’t say that I can create excerpt from the main content of the post, so I tried to understand the code of the plugin.
If I’m not wrong, the plugin checks if an excerpt exists: if there is an excerpt, it shows x words or characters, else it picks the content and shows a part of it… but nothing is showing. Can you help me?
Sorry in case I misunderstood the documentation or the code
Thanks.
I forgot, I just updated to wordpress 2.3.1 but the same thing happened on wordpress 2.3. Thanks again.
I uploaded this plugin. But there is no effect. Is it required to make any changes to the template?
I just uploaded the plug in too and it doesn’t appear to be working, I’m not getting excerpts on the main page of the blog. Is there a fix for this? (using WP 2.3)
Thanks
sorry, for posting here, but I have some comments to add to your ecards plugin, which you said we could do, but the ecards page is not commentable
What I would like to ask, if you coudl add the ecards feature to existing psots. I have a site where an older plugin is used for a picture gallery, which basically consist of one post per picture, so if I could add ecards functionality to this would be great.
Thank you for sharing…
