Hello, i tryed to change the excerpt lenght for a blog view on the front page with this Filter:


   function enfold_postgrid_excerpt_length($length) {
      $length= 50;
      return $length;
    }

    add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','enfold_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1);

But nothing happened. I added the filter to the functions.php of the child theme. Can you plz have a look why the filter is not working?

Best regards

Chris

can you try this instead:
i think that all these blog views are influenced by postslider.php – and there is that filter

function custom_post_slider_entry_excerpt( $excerpt, $prepare_excerpt, $read_more, $entry, $obj_post_slider = null ){
  $modify = true;
  if( $modify ){
    $new_excerpt_length = 50;
    $excerpt = substr( $excerpt, 0, $new_excerpt_length ) . $read_more;
  }
  return $excerpt;
}
add_filter( 'avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 'custom_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 10, 5 );

try:

function custom_post_slider_entry_excerpt( $excerpt, $prepare_excerpt, $read_more, $entry, $obj_post_slider = null ){
  $modify = true;
  if( $modify ){
    $new_excerpt_length = 50;
    $excerpt = substr( $excerpt, 0, $new_excerpt_length ) .  ' …';
  }
  return $excerpt;
}
add_filter( 'avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 'custom_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 10, 5 );

Edit : no that will be too easy.

just a moment …

add_filter( 'avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 'custom_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 10, 5 );
