Advanced Post Excerpt

FAQ

Can I limit the post types that get the advanced editor?

Absolutely! Before the native “Excerpt” meta box is overridden, Advanced Post Excerpt passes an array of post types to the ape_post_types filter.

If, for instance, you only want the native “post” post type to use Advanced Post Excerpt, you can add the following to your theme’s functions.php file:

/**
 * Restrict Advanced Post Excerpt to the "post" post type.
 *
 * @param array $post_types Post types affected by Advanced Post Excerpt.
 * @return array A restricted version of $post_types containing only "post".
 */
function mytheme_restrict_ape_post_types( $post_types ) {
    return array( 'post' );
}
add_filter( 'ape_post_types', 'mytheme_restrict_ape_post_types' );

Will this work with the WordPress block editor (a.k.a. “Gutenberg”)?

Yes! As of version 1.0.0, Advanced Post Excerpt will continue to display the TinyMCE editor in a meta box at the bottom of the block editor. To avoid conflicts, the default “Post Excerpt” panel in the block editor’s sidebar will automatically be removed.
