Hi. When I use the Blog Post widget (drag and drop into the page page) I’m not given many options. What I’d like to do is to have 1 featured article with the title and picture, and below that 3 previous posts (that have title but no image, and fewer excerpt words). What I’ve done to achieve this is to set up 2 Blog Posts, one for just the Featured category (set to 1) and below that a Blog Post of the other 3. But, making the above modifications don’t seem possible.
Thanks!
Hey laptophobo!

Hi. Actually, I just wanted to know how to lower the excerpt amount on the blog. I saw one of your Forum replies to add the following code to the bottom of the functions.php file, but that didn’t work for me.
add_filter( ‘avf_postgrid_excerpt_length’, ‘enfold_customization_excerpt_size’ );
function enfold_customization_excerpt_size( $size ) { return 120; }
If you have a procedure for this, that would be helpful. If not, I’ll grab a version of Special Recent Post plugin. But, I’d like to stay with your plugins whenever possible.
Thanks for your time,
Richard
Hi!
Which blog style are you currently using? You can use the more tag to limit the excerpt. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
