Display the_excerpt only if there is text
Have you ever wanted to display the excerpt only if you write one? A simple couple lines of code can display the_excerpt any where you like.
In my new theme, I am using this coded trick to display the excerpt on a single post only if I’ve got text inside. Usually if you use the_excerpt and you don’t have one, it will fake one for you.
This is not something that I wanted to do on the single post page. So I used the following code to check if the excerpt existed.
if ( !empty( $post->post_excerpt ) ) :
Once this action is taken into account, you can factor in what code you want to out put if the post_excerpt isn’t empty.
if ( !empty( $post->post_excerpt ) ) : the_excerpt(); else : false; endif;
The above code checks if there is an excerpt and print’s it to the screen. If there isn’t an except, it doesn’t do anything.
