Full text rather than post excerpt in The Grid

Hi. I’m using a custom version of the Lisboa skin in The Grid plugin. I want to show the full content of the post in the grid item rather than just an excerpt, but the skin builder only offers the excerpt when I edit the element’s Content field.

How can I show the full content, retaining full HTML?

Thanks
Mike.

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately, The Grid plugin does not support showing the whole content. Your best bet is to add the content into excerpts one by one. And then in the Skin option of The Grid set the limitation to -1 to show all the expert info:

If you absolutely need content for your Grid you’d better consider using Essential Grid plugin.

Thank you.

Thanks for the Excerpt length = -1, I wasn’t aware of that option.

When you say

… where do I do that?

Hi @mikerayjones,

You can add the excerpts by going to the post in question and from the right side of the screen you will find the excerpt box to add your content:

Usually, if the excerpt box is empty, WordPress will try to use the Content itself, so if you see the content with the -1 setting, then keep everything intact, but if you do not see the content then try to add excerpts.

Thank you.

Thank you - very helpful.

You’re welcome :slight_smile:
