Here is a derivative of wp_trim_excerpt() which I used. Works perfectly. Derived from WordPress:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | function my_excerpt($text, $excerpt) { if ($excerpt) return $excerpt; $text = strip_shortcodes( $text ); $text = apply_filters('the_content', $text); $text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text); $text = strip_tags($text); $excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', 55); $excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . '[...]'); $words = preg_split("/[\n\r\t ]+/", $text, $excerpt_length + 1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); if ( count($words) > $excerpt_length ) { array_pop($words); $text = implode(' ', $words); $text = $text . $excerpt_more; } else { $text = implode(' ', $words); } return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt); } |
