 * Timeline seems to ignore the excerpt length setting. I have it at 25 but it’s
   much more than that on the page. Can anyone help me figure out why?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexcerpt-length-27%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi David,
 * What theme are you using? The times that we’ve seen the excerpt length not take
   effect, is because the theme being used is also looking into the same filter 
   to generate the excerpt with the same priority – and is taking precedence over
   our filter.
 * Feel free to share the theme you are using, and we can investigate. If this theme
   is a premium theme that can only be downloaded on theme forest or similar – feel
   free to drop us a line at [https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/contact/](https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/contact/)
   and we will be more than happy to investigate what might be going on.
