I'm currently using the latest WordPress install and using HTML5 Blank WordPress Theme by Todd Motto. I'm currently having issues with the EXCERPT function. I want to be able to manually type out a excerpt and have the read more link after the sentence. Not sure how to go about doing so. The the blank themes default is great, but I because of certain content... I need to be able to manually write an excerpt. Does anyone know how I would go about this?
Thank you!
Click the "Screen Options" tab on the very top right of the screen -
There should be a checkbox for about a dozen different things - custom fields, discussion and.. Excerpt. Just check the box for that, and the excerpt box will pop up under the post editor allowing you to type in a manual excerpt

Good morning! I have a small problem with a Wordpress site. Basically our site contains information above the main menu. Before, this info, was editable via a meta field directly from the Wordpress back end on the HOME page, now (since I upgraded to Wordpress 5 and 6) this meta field to change those dates above the menu I can't find it. How can I solve? I tried looking at the .phps from the file manager but can't find that section. Could you help me?
Thank you
Good Morning. If these were default custom fields from WordPress then you should check in top right screen option whether "custom fields" are checked/enabled. In latest WordPress versions with Block Editor Enabled, you will find this option when you will click on 3 dots on Top right and then in Preferences>>Panels
On my post from the first h2 tag and down if you click in the text you can type and edit the content. While it doesn't save, I don't want users to be able to do this. I cannot figure out why this is happening.
I originally posted this in wordpress.stack thinking this was a wordpress issue but now i'm convinced it is my code.

This is not Wordpress default behaviour, it's either due to your theme (the Stanley theme) or a plugin you are running.
I note in the code, the entire <div> surrounding the contents has this attribute on it:
<div id="contentsContainer" contenteditable="true">
It doesn't look like the contents are editable on the official Stanley site, so I'd hazard a guess that you have a plugin doing something like this.
If you disable all your plugins, check if the content is editable, and then re-enable each plugin one by one you should be able to determine which plugin is doing this.
Then, I'd suggest looking into that plugin's specific settings to see whether there's an option to turn this behaviour off.
For example, here's a plugin that adds this behaviour - WP Errata - are you using that plugin by any chance?
I am designing a WordPress theme and would like to post recipes. The text (ingredients, etc.) will go into the main post window, but I would like to include a picture, which should become the background picture of the whole window. The usual Upload/Insert includes the picture into the post. Is there any better way of associating a picture to a post? Should I use the Custom Fields for this?
To make your life easy i recommend a plugin for that The Advanced custom fields
Its very easy to use. You can get full documentation here
This plugin always save my development time.
Hope it will help
Check out WP-Alchemy.

It's incredible. It can be implemented into a plugin, or a theme. I have used it and it works great!
Otherwise, the term you are looking for is "Wordpress Custom Meta Box" throw that in google, and you will get more info than you probably wanted.
If you are more of a wordpress codex junkie, check out the add_meta_box function.

I am building a custom WordPress theme and need to add descriptions to my custom menu links. According to WordPress, there is a way to do this:
"The description will be displayed in the menu if the current theme supports it."
Does anyone know how to support this?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
Wordpress' documentation on this is misleading. It actually took me quite some time to find out how to do this myself. As long as your theme supports menus (meaning, you've Registered a Custom Menu within functions.php or elsewhere), you can add Link Descriptions and other useful information by default.
In order to SEE these options, go to Appearance->Menus and click on Screen Options (up in the top right-hand corner of the screen). You will be able to enable the options you like under "Show advanced menu properties".
I am currently setting up an online community for the first time. I am a frequent worpress user, yet this one problem occurs:
I don't like the section name "wire". I'd much rather use something like "guestbook" or "short note" for it, but I cannot find the place to change it in the backend. It is not in the theme's CSS editor.
Same goes for the titles "Blog" of the Blog page or "Group/member listings" on the group/member pages :-(
Right now I am using
Wordpress MU 2.9.1.1
Buddy Press latest version
The free "Cosmic Buddy" Theme
I do have the "Enable Theme and Plugin Editor" and I could change the navbar button names with it and many other things, but not buddypress specific functions titles.
i would think you could do it following Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs in BuddyPress' How-To Guides.
