Hi pegasso4444!
Try adding this to the bottom of your functions.php file.
function new_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 20; } add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length' );Or you can edit the excerpt when editing each portfolio post. If you don’t see the excerpt field then click on “Screen Options” in the top right hand corner and check it to display.
Regards,
ElliottHi Elliot!
Sorry, but the code is not working for the manual excerpt.
See here: http://gyazo.com/a953d5f129b01462f5455a11012a942dThe problem is that all excerpts need to be the same length to make the grid look right!
You say: “Or you can edit the excerpt when editing each portfolio post” – but it is just not possible to have every excerpt the same length…
Thanks for further help on this
PeterHi!
Please use following code in Functions.php file
add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1); function avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length($length) { $length = 100; return $length; }Regards,
YigitHi there, I’m also having a problem limiting the excerpt of portfolio items in the grid portfolio. I couldn’t get the custom function above to do anything. Any update on this, or anything else to try?
Thanks for your help,

YigitHello there Yigit, i have tried the code as you suggested. Not working it seems. check http://saivrinda.org/home-page2/ – Latest Updates section.

AndyHey!
It’s not working because the site is using a very old version of the theme, 3.2.3. Please update to version 4.0. If the current filter is still not working, use this one instead.
add_filter('avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 'avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt_mod', 10, 4); function avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt_mod($excp, $prep, $perm, $entry) { $excp = substr($excp, 0, 100); return $excp; }Best regards,
IsmaelI needed the same thing; to limit the custom excerpt length in the blog element grid view, and Ismael’s function worked for me — thanks, Ismael! Only problem is it’s breaking in the middle of words — what’s the trick to limit the number of words, as opposed to characters, or to prevent the excerpts from breaking in the middle of words? Here’s the page I’m working on https://newissue.wpengine.com/weekly-content/blog/
Hi,
@sky19er: WordPress has a function called wp_trim_words that can trim any content or strings to any number of words instead of characters. You should be able to incorporate that with the the_excerpt filter to limit the number of words in the post excerpt.// https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_trim_words/
Please feel free to open another thread if you need further assistance. We will close this thread for now.
Have a nice day.
Best regards,
Ismael
