Topic: Read more text

Hi there,

I have a shortcode in a content template that calls get_the_excerpt. The issue is that the read more text is not translated, but it is translated in WP and GP. Where should I check more?

Best Regards,
Peter

Hi there,

Why are you using a shortcode? Why not use the GP dynamic content block to show the excerpt?

Because sometimes the output should not be the excerpt but simply a download link.

function get_indhold_shortcode($atts) {
	global $post;
	
	// Ensure we're in the loop and have a valid post
	if (!isset($post)) {
		return '';
	}
	
	// Parse attributes and set default value for altid_fuldt_indhold
	$atts = shortcode_atts(array(
		'altid_fuldt_indhold' => false,
	), $atts);
	
	$file = get_field('fil', $post->ID);
	
	$loop_content = get_the_content();
	
	if ($file || filter_var($atts['altid_fuldt_indhold'], FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)){
	} else{
		$loop_content = get_the_excerpt();
	}
	
	// Remove HTML comments from the post content
	$sanitized_content = preg_replace('/<!--(.|\s)*?-->/', '', $loop_content);
	
	return wpautop($sanitized_content);
}
add_shortcode('indhold', 'get_indhold_shortcode');

i see, try changing your code to this:

function get_indhold_shortcode($atts) {
    global $post;

    if (!isset($post)) {
        return '';
    }

    $atts = shortcode_atts(array(
        'altid_fuldt_indhold' => false,
    ), $atts);

    $file = get_field('fil', $post->ID);

    $loop_content = get_the_content();

    if ($file || filter_var($atts['altid_fuldt_indhold'], FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)) {
        $loop_content = get_the_content();
    } else {
        $loop_content = sprintf(
            '%1$s <a href="%2$s">%3$s</a>',
            get_the_excerpt(),
            get_permalink(),
            __('Read more', 'generatepress')
        );
    }

    $sanitized_content = preg_replace('/<!--(.|\s)*?-->/', '', $loop_content);

    return wpautop($sanitized_content);
}
add_shortcode('indhold', 'get_indhold_shortcode');

Hi there,

That gives me two Read more. The new one is correctly translated but the one from the get_the_excerpt function is still there and not translated.

Hi there,

the excerpt_more filter hook allows you to alter the default read more text.
So with your original code, you could try this to filter in the Read More Text.
```
function wpdocs_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	return __('Read more', 'generatepress');
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'wpdocs_excerpt_more' );
```

Update: Turns out, the issue was actually staring me in the face the whole time! 😅 I completely overlooked the Read more label option in the settings for the blog in the customizer. Apologies for the unnecessary runaround, and thanks a million for the help anyway! 🙈 Cheers!
