Leave blank if no excerpt?

[Marguerite Esmonde]

On my photo view calendar it shows the excerpt for each event if there is one. If not, it shows some of the text. If there is no text, it shows nothing.

I would like to have it show either the excerpt or nothing — never the text of the post. Is there a way to do this?

Hello Marguerite

What displays there is, to some extent, dependent upon your theme. If you type something in to the Excerpt field in the post editor, it will be what displays on the front of your site. If you don’t see the Excerpt field, you can be sure that it displays by checking our Screen Options. Any text entered here will display instead of the body text of the event post.

The other solution I can offer is to hide all excerpts entirely on the photo view of your site. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to hide only the post generated by the body text. Does that make sense?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
