    Hi there!
    I found this code in another thread about setting a character limit on excerpts and added it to functions.php:

    /*
* add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1);
function avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length($length)
{
   $length = 100;
   return $length;
}

    However, when you go to the following pages, you’ll notice the excerpt length is a LOT less than 300 characters.

    Page 1
    Page 2
    Page 3‘

    EXCEPT on this page where the length of the excerpt can be short or very long:
    Page 4

    Any ideas on where I went wrong?

    Hi!

    I think the code should be:

    add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1);
function avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length($length)
{
   $length = 100;
   return $length;
}

    Regards,

    I added that to the bottom of the functions.php page and it’s still showing up just the same as it was before…ugh!

    Maybe I’m missing something, but it still looks the same.
