function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 20;
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );

If you plan on making any changes to the theme, do it via child theme. Otherwise you’ll loose everything when you update theme.

Thank You sulaphen_mani! I look into the functions file and i see that the length was to 20. i modify to 50 and it worked!

Thank you Alex for advice. I dont know how to make a child theme, but i will be careful when i will update the theme 🙂

Have a nice day both of you!
