Hi
I have been working with the excerpt field today, and read on envato I think it was about extending the use of the excerpt field to allow shortcodes, by adding the following code to the functions.php file:
// Allow Shortcodes in the Excerpt field
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’);
I copied my functions.php file into my child theme, added the code and then noticed that it caused an error on my site, so I trashed the file in my child theme, thinking that that would solve the problem. But my site is still not showing properly. Any ideas what I have done wrong?
Would appreciate any help I can get.
Michele

Hi there,

Have you removed functions.php file?

Please create a file in x-child folder and name it functions.php and add following code:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// FUNCTIONS.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.
// =============================================================================

// =============================================================================
// TABLE OF CONTENTS
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   01. Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
//   02. Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

// Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// =============================================================================

add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

Hope that helps.

Hi Christopher
Phew, that worked – you are a lifesaver!
Thank you so much!
I added the extra code into the child themes functions.php file and it works great too – many thanks again
