    Hi,

    is there a way to have the formatting of the Avia Layout Builder “Blog Post” widget not centered, and to have way less of an excerpt?

    I only would like to see a single sentence for the excerpt if that is possible, and the entire post justified to the left.

    Any help would be much appreciated as usual, thank!

    Hey!

    Add this to your child theme functions.php:

    function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
   return 10;
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );

    And this to child style.css

    .slide-entry-excerpt{
    text-align: center;
}

    Cheers!

    Hi Josue,

    thanks for the quick reply as usual.

    I added the code to the Child theme functions.php and style.css and nothing changed. (see the screen caps)

    Lol I did notice that I left the CSS to “center” and changed that to left, but alas it still did not change.

    Hey!

    Did you modify the excerpt? It only display the “read more” link. Add this to left align the title and post meta info:

    #top .fullsize .template-blog .post-title, #top .fullsize .template-blog .post-meta-infos {
  text-align: left;
}

    Cheers!
