Shorten masonry blogpost excerpt length

Hi,
Now I see there are excerpts showing, so it seems that one of these snippets was working, right?

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Please note that this depends on many factors, please fully explanin what you are trying to achieve, are you going to be using manual excerpts on your items? Do you want a read more button? what limit do you want? Some of your items don’t use manual excerpts, so all of your items need to be the same.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
How long? Do you want read more buttons?

Hi,
I added this to your child theme functions.php

function custom_excerpt_setting(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
    function trimByWord(sentence,wordcount = 10) {
        var result = sentence;
        var resultArray = result.split(" ");
        if(resultArray.length > wordcount){
        resultArray = resultArray.slice(0, wordcount);
        result = resultArray.join(" ") + "...";
        }
        return result;
    }
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.av-masonry-entry-content').each(function() {
             $(this).text(function(index, currentText) {
                return trimByWord(currentText);
             });
        });
    });
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_excerpt_setting');

Hi,
Glad that this helped, I didn’t find any other working solution, the manual excerpts are not as easy.
