'Read More' Gutenberg Block and excerpts

Support
#1

Hi, I am trying to format my excerpts in a looper. Is it possible to show all blocks before the ‘read more’ block using cornerstone? I have noticed that I can use the {{dc:post:the_content}} tag to pull the content in. Are there options for the_content like ‘fallback’ and ‘length’ for {{dc:post:excerpt}}? I’m looking for what the_content(‘read more’) does…

Hi @abuelitovaldez,

Thanks for reaching out.
You can add length to the excerpt and it will look like the following one.

{{dc:post:excerpt length="20"}}

Hope it helps.
Thanks

Hi @tristup, thanks for your reply! I think I didn’t explain well. My goal is to display all my posts content blocks before the read more-block in my looper. So the length of the excerpt will always be different. With plain Wordpress I would achieve that with the function the_content(‘read more’).

Hi @abuelitovaldez,

Unfortunately, that is not possible with the Dynamic Content tags as you are expecting. But if you still want to do that, you need to create custom Dynamic Content. I would suggest you go through the following thread on that.

If you are not proficient in coding, please hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called One, where we answer the questions beyond normal theme support.

Thanks
