Can I please get an advise regarding the above? Why do excerpts include button texts? How can I exclude them? Button texts are not part of the post contents, therefore it is weird to see the button texts in the excerpts. The buttons have been created with the free Elementor. Whats the best way to sort this out?
Thank you

Hi Said,
I would love to insert a screenshot with some explanation but I am not sure how to insert it? However a screenshot would be better for understanding my problem than a link
What would you recommend?

Hi Andrasch,
You can follow these instructions here:https://snipboard.io/
Then share the link it creates here, like this:

Haha, see the suggestion of Steven, that is a good solution too, there are many out there for free.
Thank you Both,

Let me try to explain the issue as my site’s language is not in English.
So on the top right corner, in the header there is a search icon (Circled with yellow). if i type a word in the search field I get to the search results. This is what you can see. Where you read “Chicago” or “British Columbia”, those are the post titles. The words marked with red look like the part of the excerpts and are the button texts such as previous post, next post and exit to previous page. Anything comes after the red circle are the post content.
So my questions are
1: how can I remove the button texts?
2. if question 1 is a difficult task how can I remove the whole excerpts?
3. how can I remove ‘continue reading’?
Any questions, please let me know
Thanks very much

Guys, Can someone please reply and advise?
Thanks a lot
Hi, sorry I didn’t get back. I finally managed to get a reply, it wasn’t very helpful though. They suggested adding a custom excerpt, but if you add that and save it again the page forgets that it is an elementorpage and lose all formating.
However, I found a plugin, that hasn’t been updated in a long time, but it did enable you to add custom excerpt and save it from quick edit. There might be some newer plugin that does the same thing but this works even though it throws up some php errors in the dashboard.

thanks very much. I will give a try. In the meantime I tried other plugins but unfortunately all of them were showing the button texts in the search results (excerpts), so none of them resolved my problem. I really hope this one will. if not, then probably I am using something incorrectly.
This solution works. I already tried it out. And it is better to be able to have custom excerpts anyway.
. My only worry is that the plugin is very old and contain a lot of decrepit code so it might stop working all together with future PHP upgrades.
I am just hoping that Elementor will enable you to edit this part of posts in a future update just like you can access other stuff right now. There is no reason why you aren’t able to edit excerpts slugs etc through Elementor
