   The function excerpt_length doesnt work in WordPress 3.1. I have added this code below to functions.php but no luck

   function new_excerpt_length($length) {
   	return 5;
   }
   add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

   Any ideas?

   which theme are you using? for instance the twentyten uses this to set excerpt length already....
   

   function twentyten_excerpt_length( $length ) {
   	return 40;
   }
   add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'twentyten_excerpt_length' );

   just making sure you don't have some sort of conflict

   Same problem here on a custom theme.
   Looks like twentyten has defined the function but never calls it anywhere.

   Nevermind, just call the function
   <?php the_excerpt();?>
   and it will works using the new filter.
