@hube2 Thanks! That pointed me in the right direction. I made an amateur mistake and accidentally left off the parameter count on the filter. Once I added the 2 to the get_the_excerpt filter, the $post was passed in correctly and the custom excerpt value worked. Thanks again!
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'my_theme_products_and_recipes_excerpt', 10, 1 );
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'my_theme_products_and_recipes_excerpt', 10, 2 );
@hube2 Thanks for the response. I loop through an ACF Repeater that has a single Clone field of a Post Object:
<?php while ( have_rows( 'my_posts_repeater' ) ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php echo get_sub_field( 'my_clone_field_post_object' )->ID; ?>
<?php echo get_the_excerpt( get_sub_field( 'my_clone_field_post_object' )->ID ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
The ID displays correctly in the example above but the excerpt is empty. Is it possible that the problem is related to using a Clone field as the Post Object?
tjkelly’s solution was also not working for me, but it was because of where I had placed the code snippet. It was apparently too late for admin_init to fire, so the code just wasn’t running at all. For those having trouble, put an echo 'test'; at the top of your function to make sure it’s running.
I changed it to use init instead of admin_init and it worked perfectly for me:
function prefix_reset_metabox_positions(){
delete_user_meta( wp_get_current_user()->ID, 'meta-box-order_post' );
delete_user_meta( wp_get_current_user()->ID, 'meta-box-order_page' );
delete_user_meta( wp_get_current_user()->ID, 'meta-box-order_YOUR_CPT_SLUG' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'prefix_reset_metabox_positions' );
