Hooks And Excerpt Formatting (Again)

Hello,

My topic keeps being marked as resolved so I think it gets lost in the shuffle when I ask followup questions.

I had two support threads that have been prematurely marked as resolved.

First support thread is here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-grid-questions/

Second support thread is here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hooks-and-excerpt-formatting/

I have a few more questions on this thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hooks-and-excerpt-formatting/

#1 With the “Override default excerpt with content” is it possible to limit the excerpt to a specific number of characters? When I use this hook it takes ALL of the content from my page and puts it in the excerpt. But I only want to show the first 50 characters (The layout editor “Character limit” seems to be over ridden).

#3 Will this hook change all PostGrid’s to the same image?

#4 I don’t see “HTML element” under the layout editor. Is this a Pro feature?

Thanks!
