    Hello,

    First of all, thank you for this amazing WordPress template :)

    I have inserted 4 post sliders on my front page, and i want the excerpt to be longer. Right now it looks like this: http://d.pr/i/1dYqv and i have chosen this setting on all post sliders: http://d.pr/i/1ibEs

    I want the excerpt to be like 3 sentences,
    how do i do this?

    I’m looking forward to your answer :)

    Kind regards,
    Jonas

    Hey donbaek!

    Thank you for using our theme.

    In functions.php put something like the following code:

    
	add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length' );
	function new_excerpt_length( $more ) 
	{
		if(is_front_page())
		{
			return 150;
		}
		else 
		{
			return 50;
		}
	}

    Thank you Günter!

    It doesn’t seem to work. I have inserted the snippet you’ve sent here: http://d.pr/i/15swS (Bottom of the functions.php file.

    Can you check the URL I’ve already sent you?

    Thank you in advance :)

    Hi!

    Thank you for coming back.

    Try to replace the code above with the following:

    
	add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length' );
	function new_excerpt_length( $more ) 
	{
		if(is_home())
		{
			return 550;
		}
		else 
		{
			return 50;
		}
	}

    If it does not work, can you give us an admin access to your site pls?

    Cheers!

    Hey!

    I have changed the code slightly, please go to Functions.php file and find following code 

    add_filter( 'avf_postgrid_excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length' );
	function new_excerpt_length( $more ) 
	{
		return 200;
	}

    and adjust as needed

    Regards,
    Yigit
