    Hey pimroll!

    Please try adding following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor 

    add_filter('avf_related_post_loop','avia_related_excerpt');
function avia_related_excerpt() { 
  $excerpt = get_the_excerpt( $post );
  $output = "<span class='related-excerpt'>".$excerpt."</span>";
  return $output;
}

    Cheers!

    Hello Yigit,

    Is there a difference where do I place it in functions.php.

    Currently I placed it in the top and the excerpt text is not showing.

    Hello Yigit,

    And now I deleted the same lines of code and it shows like this in mobile view http://imgur.com/a/npK7y

    Can you please look at it and place the code where it should be, so the excerpt text would show and the mobile view would be ok again.

    Best Regards,

    Hello Yigit,

    I placed the code in the end of functions.php and the excerpt text is showing now but how can I customize it like this:

    http://imgur.com/a/5dHvd

    So basically I would like the title to be on top and would like to limit the size of the excerpt text about 3 times shorter.

    Is there any way?:)

    Best Regards,

    Please add following code to Quick CSS 

    strong.av-related-title {
    float: left;
}
span.related-excerpt {
    float: right;
}

    Hello Yigit,

    Its better but not exactly like I want it to be.
    I would like, that the final layout would be like this: http://imgur.com/a/EQmnl

    For this it needs to:

    – The title needs to be on the same line with the excerpt text
    – The thumbnail shoul be in the middle of the line of the text
    – And I would like to have the control to change the length of the excerpt text (ideal would be 15-20 words not more).

    The example what I am looking for is here: http://imgur.com/a/EQmnl

    Is this doable?

    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    both screenshot links you’ve provided are the same and the link you’ve provided does not work anymore (see private section). So please send us a precise link where we can inspect the elements in question.

    However, excerpt length is a default function of WordPress. Read here how to control it:

    the_excerpt()

    Hello Andy,

    The link is here: http://imgur.com/a/EQmnl

    And the new post address is in the private.

    Please help, since I did not find the line of code, which was explained in the link you sent me.

    Hi,

    Read the tutorials carefully and then put the line of code into your functions.php.

    right now it displays all of them with the related tags.

    Hi,

    Please edit the same file and find

    
$output .= 		"<strong class='av-related-title'>".$related_post->post_title."";

    and add following code right below it

    $output .=      get_the_time(get_option('date_format'));

    Best regards,

    Hello Yigit,

    It worked but is it possible to align the date in the same line as title of the post?

    Hi!

    I changed the code to following one 

    $output .=      "<span class='related-date'>".get_the_time(get_option('date_format'))."</span>";

    and added following code to Quick CSS 

    span.related-date {
    padding-left: 15px;
}

    Please review your website now :)
