    Hi, I’m trying to create a blog in the style on the Kriesi 2017 demo ‘blog modern’. This one is just to display a particular category (press), not the main blog.

    I’ve used ‘magazine’ to get the top post full width, then used the blog posts element (not to duplicate) for 2 columns beneath.
    I’ve managed to get rid of the comment count and also got rid of the tags/categories.

    However, it just isn’t looking right. The excerpts are very short. I have used the ‘read more’ in all the posts, so want all of that to display, like it does on my main news page.

    Hope you can help with advice on settings or custom css??

    Hey andrea,

    I can check some settings in your Dash, but to do it, you need to provide me your WP credentials.

    Best regards,

    Hi, I’ve tested it in incognito and it does work?? I’ve deleted the cache just in case that was a problem. Please can you try again and let me know. Thanks.

    Hi ac,

    I’ve looked at the pages. Could you explain a bit more, what do you need to do?

    Best regards,

    The main problem is that the excerpts are too short and I can’t find any options for these. I have used the ‘read more’ tag in the posts, but it doesn’t seem to affect what comes through on the blog page, I only get very short excerpts, not up to the ‘read more’.

    I’ve used ‘magazine’ to get the top post full width, then used the blog posts element (not to duplicate) for 2 columns beneath. I’m open to other suggestions. I was trying to copy something like style on the Kriesi 2017 demo ‘blog modern’ with a top main story then a grid beneath of older stories.

    But it doesn’t look right with very short excerpts. Is there a setting or some custom css I can use to get more excerpt on the page.

    Hi ac,

    In order to be able to have more control over excerpts, you can get the excerpt filed to show and fill it out manually. On the screenshot in private you can see where to turn them on.

    If you need further assistance please let us know.
    Best regards,
