Excerpt for posts and pages build with muffin builder show "Visit the post for more."

brainzgames · December 2016

Hello. We are using Muffin builder to set up our pages content, but when we share the pages in Facebook or other social media, instead of getting the first few characters of the post, like Wordpress usually does, it just says "Visit the post for more.". How can we change this behavior to work like any regular Wordpress post?

Hi,

did you set Excerpts for posts then? You can do this under post edition. You should have there Excerpt field but if you do not have it, click on Screen Options in the right top corner and activate it.

I did to solve the issue by manually entering excerpts to posts, but by default we usually don't use excerpts on regular Wordpress posts as it takes the excerpt automatically from the body (see https://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt#Excerpt.2C_automatic_excerpt.2C_and_teaser). Is there a way to achieve the same with muffin builder built posts?

Also, we don't seem to have an option to enable the excerpt field on Screen options for pages, just for posts, so we have not been able to add a proper excerpt to pages like https://brainz.co/about-us/

Sorry but it is not possible to get auto-excerpts if you use Muffin Builder. Such excerpts are possible only when you handle content by WP default editor.

However, for pages, we do not have anything like excerpt. It's reserved for Posts only.
