    I know this is probably posted in here somewhere but I can’t find it with search.

    What include file defines the default excerpt word count? I think it’s like 120 characters and after I upgraded I can’t remember where I found it before.\

    Much Thanks!

    Never mind, I found it in functions.php

    function wp_trim_excerpt($text) { // Fakes an excerpt if needed
	if ( '' == $text ) {
		$text = get_the_content('');
		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
		$text = strip_tags($text);
		$excerpt_length = 95;  // <----------------------- here it is
		$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
		if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
			array_pop($words);
			array_push($words, '[...]');
			$text = implode(' ', $words);
		}
	}
	return $text;
}
