    Hi,

    If you view our blog page here http://understandinge.com/blog/ which uses this shortcode to show the blog posts:

    [av_blog blog_type='posts' link='category' blog_style='single-big' columns='3' contents='excerpt' content_length='excerpt_read_more' preview_mode='custom' image_size='entry_with_sidebar' items='6' offset='0' paginate='yes']

    This indicates that we have an except set for each article.

    However when viewing any of the blog category pages, such as this one:

    http://understandinge.com/magento/

    The full description is being shown, how do we only show the main image, title and except on blog categories?

    Hey Matt!

    The category/archive pages use the read more quicktag ( http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ ) to separate the excerpt from the content. You can also use the “excerpt” option field on the post editor page to insert a custom excerpt text but you need to add this code to your child theme functions.php file or enfold/functions.php:

    
add_filter( 'post-format-standard', 'avia_category_content_filter', 15, 1);
function avia_category_content_filter($current_post)
{
if(!is_single())
{
	$current_post['content'] =  get_the_excerpt();
	$current_post['content'] .= '<div class="read-more-link"><a href="'.get_permalink().'" class="more-link">'.__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow">  &rarr;</span></a></div>';
}
return $current_post;
}

    to query the excerpt from the “excerpt” field.

    Cheers!
