Doesn’t look right?
If the first word of each listing is “Mileage”, your problem is post excerpts.
Some themes work great right away, like Twenty Twenty. While testing both Astra and OceanWP, we found post excerpts needed to be disabled in order for the vehicle archive or listing page to work correctly. If you’re having trouble with the way Inventory Presser displays vehicle listings out of the box, post type archives might display post excerpts instead of full posts. Post excerpts with “read more” links strip HTML from the post content and break vehicle lists. If you see post dates, author names, and vehicle attributes running together without spaces, your theme not optimally displaying vehicle content.
How to Disable Post Excerpts in your Theme
| Theme | Instructions |
| Astra | Change Customizer setting Blog → Blog / Archive → Post Content from “Excerpt” to “Full Content.” |
| Blocksy | Change Customizer setting Post types → Vehicles → Cards Options → Card Elements → Excerpt from “Excerpt” to “Full Post” |
| Divi | Enable Blog Style Mode at dashboard menu Divi → Theme Options → General Read the Divi Setup Guide → |
| OceanWP | Change Customizer setting Blog → Blog Entries → Excerpt Length to 500 |
Can’t seem to fix the default archive?
Create a new page and insert the [invp_archive] shortcode.
If your vehicle pages do not look like our screenshots, or you cannot disable excerpts, create two pages that contain these shortcodes as a workaround.
[invp_archive]for archives or listing page. Learn more →[invp_inventory_grid]for a grid of vehicle thumbnails, with year, make, model, and price. Learn more →- See more shortcodes →
Screenshot on Twenty Twenty
Here is a screenshot of Inventory Presser displaying vehicles in the Twenty Twenty theme before any custom CSS.
This may not be ready to launch, but it is many minutes ahead of writing a custom template to show the fields Inventory Presser uses to list a vehicle.
