 * With the Pro version can each visitor rate each recipe and will the rating indicate
   example – 4.2 of 10 votes?

 * Would there be CSS code that might force the default layout on archive pages?

 * Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using Elementor but I am using Default Layout
   for my archive page, the same I am using for my pages and posts.
 * Any other suggestions? Could there be another place in Elementor to have the 
   Default Layout selected?
 * Thanks

 * Thanks Amit,
 * I have that option selected to show a right sidebar but it never shows.
 * Here is an example. ([https://palateteaser.com/category/dinner/](https://palateteaser.com/category/dinner/))
   This is from my categories page. There is not a sidebar but on my home page and
   posts the side bar is there.
 * Anything I can do? I must be doing something wrong.
 * Thank You

 * Thanks for the response. I tried using shortcode and doing it automatically. 
   I am using a child theme for OceanWP. Can you let me know how I would include
   the widget directly into the post template?
 * This seems to be an issue with how the post grid is displaying the information.
   All the information in my post is correct.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Thanks for the quick reply.
 * Can you take a look at this site? (www.palateteaser.com)
 * When I use the code you provided and use it in my post grid it makes the length
   very long and then does something to grid layout. There should be 3 rows all 
   the same size.
 * I am using the manual excerpt. When I use the code in the automatic excerpt it
   does not show in the grid.
 * Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
 * Thank You

 * I tried a few plugins and I can’t seem to find a way to limit the Manual Excerpt.(
   except for your code)
 * I know it is not a good idea but is there a way to add your code to the parent
   theme?

 * Sure, here is the link. [http://www.palateteaser.com](http://www.palateteaser.com)
 * As you can see the code worked great for the post grid and limited the post length
   but the star ratings no longer show. They show just fine when the code is removed.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Amit,
 * Sorry for all the questions. As I mentioned your code worked great.
 * However, the code changed other information once the code was entered.
 * Please see this example – [http://www.palateteaser.com/test](http://www.palateteaser.com/test)
 * I use the WP Ratings Plugin. As you can see in the example the star ratings works
   great without the code you provided and then when I added the code the star ratings
   no longer appear.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks Amit. You are great. This worked perfect. Just one more question. This
   allowed me to limit the Manual Excerpt by number of words.
 * Would you have code to limit the Manual Excerpt by lines?

 * So that code worked perfectly for the Automatic Excerpt.
 * I think we are getting closer. I need to limit the Manual Excerpt.
 * Do you have the code to limit the Manual Excerpt?
 * Really appreciate all your help.

 * This might help. Please see this page. (www.palateteaser.com/test) I provided
   a screen print of the what I am trying to do. When I use the manual excerpt I
   can’t seem to limit the text in the grid. (but I can just fine when using the
   automatic excerpt, first column)
 * The plugin I am using is WP-PostRatings.
 * I can’t show the star ratings using the plugin when I use automatic excerpt.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Thanks for the quick reply.
 * Here is an example. [http://www.palateteaser.com](http://www.palateteaser.com)
 * I want to limit the amount of words / lines that show in the grid.
 * As you can see I can limit the first column just fine as I am using an automatic
   excerpt but when I use a manual excerpt (2nd column) I can’t seem to set a limit.
 * I would really like to use an automatic excerpt but it seems to strip out the
   code I need from my ratings plugin. [ratings]
