Tagged: excerpt length, post slider
Hi there,
I have 2 questions:
1) question regarding length of post excerpts
I have following problem:
I have adjusted the excerpt of some of my blogs post to make it easier for the reader to see if the post is interesting or not – this I could easily do in the setting of the posts. The problem is how the posts get displayed in a post-slider on the startpage. There I have the full excerpt getting displayed which kind of breaks the page (Pls. see screenshot). My question is if there is a way to adjust the exerpt length for posts in the post-slider?
2) question regarding standard image for posts without images.
In the posts-slider on the startpage there appears a post without an image – the post without images displays some sort of default image – is there a way to modify this image ?
Thanks a lot.
Hi flippingrocks!
Sorry for the late reply!
1- Can you please try adding following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor
add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1);
function avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length($length)
{
$length = 100;
return $length;
}
2- Currently all 3 blog posts have featured images set. Can you please add an example one so we can inspect elements and provide you an accurate solution?
Cheers!

Hi Yigit,
thanks for your help – the code does not really get us there (yet) – have a look
I have to set the excerpt lenght of the blogs manually – but at the same time the post-slider on the homepage should ignore this (manual excerpt) setting and give me a fixed specific number of characters instead
01.12.2015 – OK, any further help? – the code doesn`t do the trick anything esle I can do since the problem is pressing
