    Hi, I am a first time website builder. I am using a “grid” format for Blog archives with automatic excerpts. How do I append “…..” after the automatic excerpt? Else the display looks strange stopping half way through a sentence

    Here’s a link to the blog archive page

    Hi @s2e

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The regular excerpt […] is there but hidden by a static excerpt height. We’ll need to resolve with Custom CSS. If you’re using Vantage Premium you can go to Appearance > Custom CSS. If you’re using Vantage Free, go to Plugins > Add New and install a plugin called Simple Custom CSS, then go to Appearance > Custom CSS and insert:

    /* Grid Loop Excerpt */

.vantage-grid-loop article .excerpt {
height: auto;
}

    You can leave the above as is or change the auto value to a fixed height. Right now it’s set at 2.5em.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Mispion,

    This worked! after some trial and error I was able to get the manual excerpt to rightly fit into the excerpt height – thanks for your help
