Show more contents using "more" tag in the testimonial page

[palmtree]

I want this page
https://www.livemeshthemes.com/invent/home-2/#testimonials2

Not to show content after “more” tag (by inserting more tag it works now)

But this page
https://www.livemeshthemes.com/invent/testimonials/

To show content after “more tag (which doesn’t work). Currently if I use more tag, contents after more tag is not visible in https://www.livemeshthemes.com/invent/testimonials/ as well.

I want to hide certain content of each testimonial in front page but display in testimonial dedicated page.

Is there any way to modify a bit of code inside template-testimonials.php?

In the template-testimonials.php, pls replace the line no. 73 containing the_content() with –

                                global $more; $more = -1;

                                the_content();

                                $more = 0;

You can copy over the template-testimonials.php into your child theme to prevent updates to theme from removing your change.

Thanks it works!
Meteorite, is there any way to get rid of [···] for more tag output only in this particular testimonial section?
I have tried the_content('',false,'') but did not work.

There is more information available here-

Actually whatever rules I applied, they are ignored…
I have also tried to add following to functions.php but also didn’t work.

function my_excerpt_more($more) {
	return '';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'my_excerpt_more');

Can you pls try this –

function change_excerpt( $text )
{
	$pos = strrpos( $text, '[');
	if ($pos === false)
	{
		return $text;
	}
	
	return rtrim (substr($text, 0, $pos) );
}
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'change_excerpt');

Phoenix,Thanks for trying.

Your code also didn’t do anything. It seems like any code I put is ignored..
If I use <?php the_excerpt(); ?> the after more tag I cannot see any text in the testimonial page seen at https://www.livemeshthemes.com/invent/testimonials/

As long as I keep <?php the_content(); ?> with the method meteorite suggested, the more tag works although it outputs [···].

But at the end of the day, if more tag works that is the main purpose! Getting rid of [···] is just for very little designing purpose. I can live with it:)

Thanks for your support!
