 * I have featured content showing up on my homepage. The title and featured image
   are showing correctly. The excerpt below the image shows all of the text of the
   page specified (out to a certain number of characters). How can I limit what 
   is shown in the excerpt? I have a couple of sentences that I want shown, but 
   no more. How can this be accomplished?

 * Hello [@cjackson111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cjackson111/),
 * To limit the excerpt in the Featured Content section, you have to go through 
   the child theme approach.
 * Child theme reference :
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * Or you can simply create the child theme using the plugin. Below is the link 
   to one of them.
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-child-theme-generator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-child-theme-generator/)
   
   Now after creating and activating the child theme paste below given code in your
   child theme’s functions.php file :

 * If you want more dedicated and swift support on the theme, please visit the theme’s
   official support forum where the theme’s official support team are stand by to
   answer each and every one of your questions.
