In reply to: [Posts for Page] How to change the length of the excerpt?I think I can help you both there. It was the same problem I had initially and after reviewing the code I came across an attribute (length) for the shortcode which seems to have been missed.
In your shortcode snippet use ” length=’35’ use_wp_excerpt=’false’ ” , changing the length to the required number of words you need. What this will do is take the main content and stop at the required number of words. By not using the excerpt it’ll ensure you get what you need.
Remember the won’t work on the excerpt and is why the ‘use_wp_excerpt=false’ is set. Maybe the developer can implement the length feature for both the main content and excerpt in future versions.
Done! I’ve also clicked on the working in version 3.0.1 button.
Fantastic! The web can be a wonderful place to find workarounds or fixes and hopefully the one you found will work. :O)
Look forward to hearing how you get on.
Thanks once again.
JonCoolmann,
Thanks for the reply and at least I know it’s out of your hands slightly too being a third party software.
Let’s hope they allow you or us to be able to change those details in future releases.
Appreciate the reply and great work you’ve done here.
