I want to display the full page content rather than the excerpt in my child theme.
If I make the changes to the parent, they appear on the site. If changes are made to same exact file in child, they do not appear. I know this is because the parent loads after the child, but I need the child changes to stick.
Here's the code:
<?php if ( $page_id ) : ?>
<div class="about-content-wrapper tg-column-wrapper clearfix">
<?php
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'page_id=' . $page_id );
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
$the_query->the_post();
$title_attribute = the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' );
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
?>
<?php $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( get_the_ID() );
$img_altr = get_post_meta( $thumb_id,
'_wp_attachment_image_alt', true );
$img_alt = ! empty( $img_altr ) ? $img_altr : $title_attribute;
$post_thumbnail_attr = array(
'alt' => esc_attr( $img_alt ),
); ?>
<div class="about-image tg-column-2">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'full', $post_thumbnail_attr ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="about-content tg-column-2">
<?php
$output = '<h2 class="about-title"> <a href="' .
get_permalink() . '" title="' . $title_attribute . '" alt ="' . $title_attribute . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h2>';
**$output .= '<div class="about-content"><p>' .
get_the_excerpt() . '</p></div>';**
$output .= '<div class="about-btn"> <a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Read more', 'himalayas' ) . '</a>';
if ( ! empty( $button_text ) ) {
$output .= '<a href="' . $button_url . '">' . esc_html( $button_text ) . '<i class="fa ' . $button_icon . '"></i></a>';
}
$output .= '</div>';
echo $output;
?>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
The part in question is the $output .= '<div class="about-content"><p>' . get_the_excerpt() . '</p></div>';
line.
Changing "get_the_excerpt()
" to "get_the_content()
" when the change is made in the parent, displays the full page content. However, when the change is made in the child, it's still only displaying the excerpt.
Any ideas?
