Two text colours within a fluid post

[jmg77]

Hi,
I would like to be able to have the first line of or at least some words in my fluid posts to be a different colour.

If you could have a look at http://ryyabread.com you will see I have event information at the start of the description. I’d like this to be a different colour and if possible on its own line.

When I change the colour and put a return in it doesn’t accept it. It does register it when you click on the post to expand it, only then is it a different colour.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks
John

Hi

You can add the excerpt text separately like below

<span style="Your color code">Text here</span>, the other text.........

When you edit the post, click “screen options” button(on the top right of the screen), select “excerpt”, then you will see the excerpt text area below the editor.

Thanks

Hi, that worked thanks. Only problem now is it doesn’t link to the page with the full post.

I’ve trued to follow the WordPress advice and added the following to the theme-functions.php

function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return ‘ ‘ . __(‘Read More’, ‘your-text-domain’) . ‘‘;
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’ );

It didn’t work, but i’m not sure if I put it in the correct place???

Thanks

Please make sure you use English quotation marks in your codes.

function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return __('Read More', 'your-text-domain');
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

Hi,
Where should I place this in the theme-functions.php?

Thanks

You can put it in custom-functions.php

Strange, I haven’t changed the php file yet but it is now linking the post to the full page anyway, why is that?

Also, what it happening is instead of just showing part of the post copy it is showing all of it, can it be so it just shown part of it?

if you look at the “Salone di Limone” and “Espressini – Weekly Workshops” you’ll see what I mean.

I’d just like to be able to have the first line or first few words to be a certain colour, the rest of the post copy to be the theme styling.

sorry if this is confusing, it’s hard to explain.

Ok, I think i’ve sussed it and it seems to be working how I want it.
Thanks for your help
