Recent Post Excerpt Not Working

Support
#1

I’ve used the instructions here in my Child theme’s PHP file, and also made sure the most recent post actually has an excerpt. As far as I can tell, I haven’t done any CSS to hide it from view.

The url is here: https://mhdigitalgroup.com/blog . The post at the top is the one that should have an excerpt

Hi Rob,

You need to also pass the following parameter show_excerpt="true" through your shortcode to work.

For example, please try the following and it should work.

[x_recent_posts type="post" show_excerpt="true" count="3" orientation="horizontal"]

If not, please provide us with your WordPress credentials along with your FTP credentials to investigate your issue further.

Thanks!

Your WordPress login credentials are invalid.

Your FTP credentials connected to the server, but I don’t see any files in the server.

Could you please confirm with the correct information, so that we should be able to look into your issue further.

Hello Rob,

I have checked your functions.php and it is correct. The recent posts element should display the excerpts now.
When I checked your blog page, I can see the excerpts already.

Please clear your site cache, plugin caches and browser cache. You may need to use private browsing mode and test your site again.
