Excerpt's read more "[...]" link to the post | General - Subscribe2 HTML Support Forum | Support | Semper Plugins

works perfectly! thank you…

Can I add on to this with another similar question or do I need to start a new topic?

I just noticed that the solution above works great when I have the “read more…” appear automatically based on the excerpt setting of 55 words; however, when I insert the WP “read more” tag in order to make the excerpt cut off exactly where I’d like it to cut off, I don’t see a […] or “Read More…” with a link in my email digest. It just cuts off with no text to click or follow through. Any suggestions on how to make the “read more tag” display a “Read More…” with post link in my digest email?

Hello again When I copy that same code and insert it before the “} else {” then attempt to send myself a preview email this warning is popping up in WordPress:

Warning: array_push() [function.array-push]: First argument should be an array in /home/content/86/2049386/html/lynette-2013-preview/wp-content/plugins/subscribe2_html/classes/class-s2-core.php on line 1562

This is what my code in core-s2-core.php looks like (pasted below). I’ve been staring at it for a long time trying to solve this, but my coding skills beyond html/css are basic. Do you know where the error is coming from???

Thanks again and again!

( !empty($post->post_excerpt) ) ? $excerpt = $post->post_excerpt : $excerpt = ”;
if ( ” == $excerpt ) {
$excerpt = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $post->post_content);
// no excerpt, is there a ?
if ( false !== strpos($post->post_content, ‘‘) ) {
list($excerpt, $more) = explode(‘‘, $excerpt, 2);
if ( function_exists(‘strip_shortcodes’) ) {
$excerpt = strip_shortcodes($excerpt);
}
// balance tags then strip leading and trailing whitespace
$excerpt = trim(balanceTags($excerpt, true));
$link = “get_tracking_link(get_permalink($post->ID)) . “\”>Read more…“;
array_push($words, $link);

} else {
if ( function_exists(‘strip_shortcodes’) ) {
$excerpt = strip_shortcodes($excerpt);
}
$words = explode(‘ ‘, $excerpt, $this->excerpt_length + 1);
if ( count($words) > $this->excerpt_length ) {
array_pop($words);
$link = “get_tracking_link(get_permalink($post->ID)) . “\”>Read more…“;
array_push($words, $link);
$excerpt = implode(‘ ‘, $words);
$excerpt = trim(balanceTags($excerpt, true));
}
}
}

that works perfectly! thank you.
