Hi
I have the except set to 50 words and a continue reading link, but on my category page the continue reading does not display? Also, if I add an excerpt to the post, it doesn’t appear that the excerpt is being displayed, but it’s taking the actual post content. I have Excerpt selected in the Nirvana settings where I could find them.

Here is the URL:
http://dev2016.waterwelltrust.org/category/completed-projects/

I added “This should display an excerpt” in the excerpt field to the first post that displays on the page.

I am not running any caching plugins. My Nirvana is Version: 1.2.6
Thank you

Also, it appears that the Category page with intro is not working?

I added a category description for this category, and it does not display:
http://dev2016.waterwelltrust.org/projects/

Should display the category description at the top of the page.
Thanks.

The category description is displayed on category sections.
The ‘category page with intro’ template is a (static) page template, used on (static) pages – to display a long (HTML) intro before the posts. This intro is defined as the content of the (static) page using the template.

Is the posts display set to Full Posts or Excerpts in the theme’s settings?

Hi

The posts display is set to Excerpts: Screenshot of settings http://screencast.com/t/ox8wfmZseScl

For our News page, for example, I have a static page with Category page with intro for the template
http://dev2016.waterwelltrust.org/news/ (actual page)
http://screencast.com/t/hbALJtAeugr (settings)

For the first post, I have added “this should display the excerpt” in the edit post area, and I would expect that to display on the home presentation page and also this News page, but it doesn’t, and also there is not a read more link, which I would expect.
Changing the template to Blog Template gives me the same results – no excerpt, no read more.

On the presentation page, there is a read more link, but the excerpt doesn’t display

We haven’t done any theme modifications except through the control panel, and no extended CSS changes.

Thanks.

I am also having problems with full posts showing even though I have selected excerpts.

I am also having problems with shortcode being displayed in the post preview on the main page.

I hope there is an answer to this problem soon.

@callerpatty, could you temporarily disable all your plugins to rule out interference with the excerpts?

@bmuench, we’ll need the URL to your site.

I disabled all the plugins, but no luck in getting the read more to work.
I played around with the settings, and it appears that the read more button AND the entered excerpts show up if you have the HTML TAGS IN EXCERPTS set to Disable.

I don’t have anything odd in the posts that I can tell – but I can duplicate the issue of no read more button and no entered excerpts displaying when I add a category link to the menu, and when I create a page using the Category Page with Intro.

I’d like to be able to have the html tags set to enable if possible,,,,,
