Hello,
I just started to create a blog in addition to my shop with Royal theme. I noticed that the “Related Posts” option does not show the excerpt when Visual Composer was used to create a post. As soon as I disable Visual composer plugin, the excerpt is shown as expected. But I need Visual Composer to be active. So what can I do to show the exerpt in Related Posts?
Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

Could you please provide wp-admin access in Private Content so we could check it?

Hello,

In this case, you need to activate Excerpt http://prntscr.com/ehueix and add some text there http://prntscr.com/ehuf0c.

Ok thank you for your soon reply and the answer. Isnt there any solution how to edit my template to grab the excerpt automatically? I dont want to add the excerpt manually. Otherwise I will have to look for another plugin but I would like to use the built-in function. Thank you.

Ok thank you. But I am still searching for a solution to get the excerpt automatically, as its done in the posts overview page (content-grid.php). I am sure there must be a way to edit theme-functions.php to achieve this, I just dont know how. Could you please help me with that? Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in answering.
It can be done through the additional code customization that is out of our support scope, sorry. You need to have base html and php skills if you want to change or add some special functionality.
In this case, you need to use tag more or write excerpt in the field in page editor.
Feel free to ask if you need any other help.

Rose Tyler.

I solved it by writing a simple custom function. So you can mark this as resolved.
