If the post/page has no title and the excerpt is not already showing, this

  • Adds a trimmed excerpt to post title link, and the checkbox label matches the link text.
  • Adds optional styling for the trimmed excerpt.

I'm not sure I want the lighter font-weight when it is still part of the link, but I like having a small amount of padding to offset the excerpt.

The checkbox label should include the same text as the link (with 'Select').

The locked icon text might not require the same, but I updated that anyway.

if ( 'excerpt' !== $mode && '' === get_the_title( $post ) && ! post_password_required( $post ) ) {
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt( $post );
if ( '' !== $excerpt && is_string( $excerpt ) ) {
$title .= ' <span class="trimmed-post-excerpt">' . esc_html( wp_trim_words( $excerpt, 15, ' &hellip;' ) ) . '</span>';

Escapes the output even though wp_trim_words() strips all tags, because it also has a wp_trim_words filter.
