After the last update from Genesis 2.3.0 last week there’s a problem with the portfolio pages in the Epik theme.

There are added two letters just before the read more link you can see it here:

I’ve had contact with Studiopress because i thought the issue was with there update but they’ve answered as follows:

“In recent Genesis 2.3.0 update, there were few changes introduced to how content limit function, handles foreign language characters. This can result in first two letters coming in from your content.

This would mean that theme author will also have to review the code to make it compliant to new changes. The Epik theme is a community theme created by appfinite. We ask our community theme developers to support their themes directly. They will be most familiar with the theme, and it will make them aware of any bugs that might come up.”

Can you fixe this in the theme? Or let me know how to fix it myself?

I’m not sure what was changed in the Framework to cause that to happen. I’ll have to ask around to see if there’s a quick solution.

I’ve actually been trying to figure it out myself. I have the new version of Epik ready to be released, but I want to have that issue fixed when I release it. I’ll let you know once I have it fixed, or if I find a workaround.

Hi

It’s about three weeks ago. Is there already something fixed? Because the error in the blogpages is not so good. I receive questions about the two letters which are added en it’s not so good for the layout.

I like your Epik theme but i think this has to be fixed as soon as possible, Am i the only one with this problem? Can i solve it myself? And how can i do this?

Hope to hear soon from you

Temporary solution:

Line 2646 of your .css

Change to this:

.portfolio p {
color: #fff;
}

It will turn the text white, making it invisible. It’s still there, but unseen.

Hi

Thanks for your answer. But that’s no good solution. Google would see it as possible spam!

It has to be changed in the wordpresscode about languages. Because after that change in the Genesis Framework the error excists. That’s why there has to be made an update of the Epik theme.

You are correct. I forgot about that. So sorry.

I have the new Epik and the old Epik working on two different sites and cannot find any obvious issue comparing my two to yours. Something in the translaton. Out of my league. Good luck.

@erceemedia Don’t worry, we’ll get it fixed somehow, no matter what it takes. I’ve been waiting on a solution as well, but since no one has came up with anything that works, I’ll have to see what can be removed in order for this to work. Your site is probably the only one that I’ve seen with that particular issue, and that’s due to the fact you don’t want content to show up. Most of the other users have their Content show which is why it works fine for them.

We should still be able to remove the content and have your buttons show up at the same time. I just have to figure out a work around.

Hi Wes

What do you mean by this: “and that’s due to the fact you don’t want content to show up. Most of the other users have their Content show which is why it works fine for them” ?

The content with the error can be seen at:

http://toer.info/goedkoop-vakantiehuis/ and
http://toer.info/aanbiedingen-zomervakantie/

As you can see above the green button are always the two letters. Maybe the guys from Genesis can help you. The error excists since the update from the Genesis Framework to 2.3.0 and the Copyblogger support wrote me:

“in recent Genesis 2.3.0 update, there were few changes introduced to how content limit function, handles foreign language characters. This can result in first two letters coming in from your content.”

Maybe they can identify exactly what needs to be adjusted?

@erceemedia I assume you don’t want the content to show right? Because the only way for it to show 2 letters is if you add 1 in the field labeled "Limit content to" in the Portfolio Settings at the bottom of the Genesis Settings page. If you add any other number higher than 2 letters/characters it works fine.

If that’s the case, do you want to remove the Content AND the Read More button? Or do you want to keep the Read More button? The Thumbnail/Pictures will still be clickable either way.

Most users have theirs set to around 100 – 300+ characters. If you look at the demo – http://demo.appfinite.net/epik/portfolio/ you can see it works fine. The only issue that shows up is when you set it to 0 or 1 at the moment.

So let me know exactly how you want it to look so I can know which solution would be best. I plan to have a temporary fix today.

Hi Wes, thans for this answer! The limit content was set to 1

I don’t want to display the contant. Just the title, picture and the read more button. So the content has to be removed

IF you can fix this that would be great!

Ok, give me a sec and let me see if I can come up with something.

Try adding the following code to your page_portfolio.php file in your theme –
```
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'epik_excerpt_length' );
function epik_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 0;
}
```
Then go to your Genesis Theme Settings Page and select Display Post Excerpts in the field labeled – "Select one of the following" near the bottom of the page. This will remove the Content and keep the Read More button.

As I mentioned before, most people use the Content area on their Portfolio pages, but since you want to remove yours, this is what you’ll need to add in order to get JUST the Image, Title, and Button to show on the Portfolio page.

Unfortunately I still haven’t been told what was changed in the Genesis Framework to cause this issue, but the above customization should definitely fix it, as I’ve tested it myself on a local test/dev site.

Keep me updated if this works or not.

If you need assistance adding this in to your Theme, just let me know and create a Temporary User/Password. I can quickly login and get everything working if needed.

Just let me know!

Hi Wes

I will thank for your patient en help to create the workarond you’ve made for me. About the information of the changes in the Genesis Framework i’ve asked last week already to inform me or you about the exactly changes in the Framework that lead to the strange behavior in your Epik Theme.

I’m sure that’s because of our site is in the Dutch Language so it should be something with the translation file? Hope they wil inform you about the changes they’ve made so you can use it an upcoming update of the Epik Theme

Thanks a lot for your help

From the Netherlands
