Title: Changing preview length, excerpt. Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Changing preview length, excerpt. * Resolved [jonathan.berglind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanberglind/) * (@jonathanberglind) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/) * I would like to show a longer preview of the posts I’ve made. Right now it shows like 40 words or something and I would like to make it show the whole post, how can i achieve that?

How can I make it show the whole post with pictures and everything? Right now it shows all the text but without proper formatting, I would like it to show the same post as when I click it like with the default Twenty-twelve- theme. Is that possible? * [Aditya Pandey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callingmedic911/) * (@callingmedic911) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761545) * Basically you need to find `the_excerpt` and change it to `the_content` in your template file. * Thread Starter [jonathan.berglind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanberglind/) * (@jonathanberglind) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761548) * Thank you very much! ^_^ * [Aditya Pandey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callingmedic911/) * (@callingmedic911) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761558) * Well, forget about that. I downloaded your theme, looked at its source. * Basically what you need to do is set up [Child Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes), first. * Then copy `/wp-content/themes/satu/inc/theme-functions.php` and paste it in `/ wp-content/themes/your-child-theme-directory/inc/` and then edit that file from child theme. * Go to line 28 and change `return 40;` to something you want like, `return 150;`. * Thread Starter [jonathan.berglind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanberglind/) * (@jonathanberglind) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761591) * Okay, thank you. Another question: Is it possible to change the profile pic in the header o something else than a gravatar? Like a custom picture? If so, how? 🙂 * [Aditya Pandey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callingmedic911/) * (@callingmedic911) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761628) * Give me link to site, where this issue belongs. If you can, give me screenshot as well to easily identify the issue. * Thread Starter [jonathan.berglind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanberglind/) * (@jonathanberglind) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761743) * Check this one instead; [http://demo.themephe.com/satu/](http://demo.themephe.com/satu/) It’s the themes demo page. The admin gravatar is shown at the top. I would like to replace that picture to something else without having to change my gravatar. Is it possible to link to a picture instead of a gravatar? My problem is that I want to use the same theme on 2 different sites in a [“network of sites”](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network). The same gravatar shows up on both sites even though there are different users administrating the sites. Hope you can help out. * Theme Author [satrya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/satrya/) * (@satrya) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761744) * Hi [@jonathan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathan/), I was uploaded the newer version two days ago, the update allow you to change the gravatar at the top via custom header. But, we need to wait the review process, here’s the ticket [http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12750](http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12750) * Thread Starter [jonathan.berglind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanberglind/) * (@jonathanberglind) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-preview-length-excerpt/#post-3761745) * Thank you, that’s really great. Is it possible though, to make it look like a gravatar?
