Post Excerpts at the Beginning of Each Post

[wbxpress]

Hi, I would like to display handicraft post excerpt at the very beginning of each post just below the post title. Can anyone help me please?

Add this to functions.php

add_action('genesis_entry_header','custom_excerpt', 11);
function custom_excerpt() {
  the_excerpt();
}

So then you can use the excerpt area in wordpress (use screen options if not showing) to write your own excerpts.

You can change the number 11 at the end higher or lower to position the excerpt in the entry meta area

Hi,

Thank you for the code above. This code is working nice with single post display. But there is some problem with my settings. I have already implemented some tweaks to display excerpts instead of full post at the home page, search page, category page etc. So, at the home page excerpts are displaying twice.
Please let me know how to fix this.
Secondly, I would appreciate if you kindly help me to display excerpts inside a content box (light blue).

Hi,

I just changed the above to suite my needs and it worked perfect.

add_action('genesis_entry_header','custom_excerpt', 11);
function custom_excerpt() {
  if ( is_single() )
  the_excerpt();
}

However, I am struggling to find a way to display the excerpt in a content box. I have working content-box class but could not find the way to implement it.

This should help

add_action('genesis_entry_header','custom_excerpt', 11);
function custom_excerpt() {
  if ( is_single() )
  ?><div class="content-box"><? 
  the_excerpt();
  ?></div><?
}

Hi chillybin, i have found almost a similar way to achieve this. I just inserted the below code in simple hooks plugin at the genesis-entry-header:-

<?php if ( is_singular() ) { ?>
<div class="content-box">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Thanks for your kind support. You are awesome.
