    What’s the appropriate function to make the excerpt fewer words/characters for Enfold?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    I tried that but it didn’t seem to hold.

    The lady I’m making this for wants the header on top of the image and excerpt like this:

    Thoughts on how to make this look like this (as far as the title on top)?

    Thanks!

    Hey!

    If you’re using the default blog layout you can use the read more quicktag: http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ to split the content into an excerpt + full text version or you can modify the theme code a bit to use the “excerpt” text instead. Open up loop-index.php and replace

    
$blog_content = !empty($avia_config['blog_content']) ? $avia_config['blog_content'] : "content";

    with

    $blog_content = !empty($avia_config['blog_content']) ? $avia_config['blog_content'] : "content";
if(!is_single()) $blog_content = "excerpt_read_more";

    – WP will then use the get_the_excerpt() function to retrieve the excerpt and will truncate the post content automatically if no excerpt text is set.

    Best regards,
    Peter
