 * Hi
 * Nice plugin!
    Was wondering if it was possible to only show the exverpt instead
   of the content with the help of ypur shortcode, like “show_excerpt=true”
 * Want to show the excerpt instead of the flowing content below the image in the
   portfolio view before the single page.
 * Thanks!

 * We do not currently have the option for an excerpt, but it would be a great enhancement
   to reveal a limited amount of characters in the description. However, you can
   hide the content if you would like.
 * Example shortcode parameters are as follows:
 * [portfolio display_content=false]
 * More shortcode examples here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/freefolio/faq](https://wordpress.org/plugins/freefolio/faq)
 * I am going to look into the excerpt idea.
