    Hi best supportes ;-)

    How can I reduce the length of the excerpt on the featured image slider?

    I tried it in the child > functions.php with

    add_filter( 'avf_feature_image_slider_excerpt_length', 'avf_feature_image_slider_excerpt_new_length', 999 );
function avf_feature_image_slider_excerpt_new_length($length) {
	return 10;
}

    but it doesn’t work.

    Thanks for your input!

    Best regards
    Stephan

    Hi Torvik,

    I need to different excerpt lenghts: One for the big image in the magazine element, and a shorter one (roundabout 30%) for the featured slider, but I didn’t get it with “add_filter( ‘avf_feature_image_slider_excerpt_length’…”

    Here’s a screenshot:

    Hi,

    Did you specify the excerpt manually? This filter will only work if the post has no excerpt.

    Best regards,

    Hi Ismael,

    yes I edit this text manually in the extra textarea “excerpt” below the mce.
    I there an alternative to “cut” this field similar to “avf_feature_image_slider_excerpt_length”?

    Thanks a lot + best regards

    Hi,

    There is no filter for that, unfortunately. However, you can adjust the number of characters by using a script in the functions.php file.

    function ava_custom_script_mod(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
	function a() {
		$('.avia-featureimage-slideshow .avia-caption-content').text(function(index, curr) {
					return curr.substr(0, 10) + ' ...';
		 });
	}

	a();
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'ava_custom_script_mod');

    We set the number of characters to 10. Adjust as needed. Please note that this will limit the number of characters, not words.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
