   Hello,

   I would like different categories to have different excerpt lengths. I have set in the functions a default one by doing

   add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
   	function my_excerpt_length($length) {
   		return 10;
   	}

   but unfortunately this is global. I would like category id 1 to be 10 and category 2 to be 100.

   Is this possible?

   Many thanks in advance.

   Dave.

   Try using a conditional tag
   

   if ( is_category(1) ) {
   	return 10;
   }

   ... etc.

   S.K
