    Hi!

    For some reason, all the sections which show preview of the target context (text) is cropping the text without introducing the classic “…” in the end. This looks really bad and is misleading to the user.

    This problem exist on all sections which reference pages or posts. For examples, please see the live site on http://brfpalatinen.se/.

    If anyone could help me troubleshoot this I would very much appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance!

    It should display … at the end as you can see in our website as well. Did you make any changes in the code? If not, please email us your website login detail to support@hashthemes.com if you want our team to check and fix it.

    We would not be able to tell any thing without checking the code.

    I added this code to my child themes functions.php:

    function total_excerpt( $content , $letter_count ){
    $content = strip_shortcodes( $content );
    $content = strip_tags( $content );
    $content = mb_substr( $content, 0 , $letter_count );

    if( strlen( $content ) >= $letter_count ){
    $content .= “…”;
    }
    return $content;
    }

    Try replacing it with this one. It will work.

    function total_excerpt( $content , $letter_count ){
    $content = strip_shortcodes( $content );
    $content = strip_tags( $content );
    $content = mb_substr( $content, 0 , $letter_count );
    $content .= “…”;

    return $content;
    }

    Thanks a lot for the support both in forum and in troubleshooting my site! I now got the triple dots back! 🙂

    However, if it would be possible to make the cropping of the test remove the entire last word and introduce the triple dots after the end word, that would be even better! 🙂

    Again, thanks for the support!

    Sorry, that would not be possible without making a change in the code.
