Hello,
Is there a way I can have longer automatic excerpts? On my home page I’m using a blog post content element with grid layout, including Title and Excerpt + Read More Link. I would like the excerpt length to be about 100 characters.
Thanks

JosueHi Josue,
Thanks for the reply. I tried this but it didn’t seem to have any effect. It’s only on the grid layout blog posts that they are very short. They are longer on the other blog layout.
Thanks,
ShelleySorry I took switched that off but it’s still showing. Are you able to send me your IP and I’ll add it to my view list?
I can’t do that, if you say you switched it off maybe it’s a matter of time, i’ll try later.
Cheers!
JosueHi!
Insert this code at the very bottom of the child theme functions.php file (or enfold/functions.php if you’re not using a child theme)
add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','avf_increase_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1); function avf_increase_postgrid_excerpt_length($prepare_excerpt) { return 60; }and replace 60 with your custom except length (i.e. 120). The default length is 60.
Regards,
PeterHey!
Where exactly did you add the function in? I don’t see it in your currently live functions.php file.
Cheers!
DevinHello, this code is also not working for me. I placed it in my child functions file. Any ideas?
Thanks.
