Hello:

I’ve got a category index page like this one:

http://certeco.co.uk/new/category/events/

And I’m wondering how to show more words from the story? When you click through to the story they’re not much longer than what you see on the category index.

Where can I tweak this?

Cheers, Russell

Hi Russel,

Thanks for writing in! If you are using custom excerpt field then you can use your desired excerpts from there.

If you want to set the number of words for your excerpts then you can try placing this to your Child Theme‘s functions.php :

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 20;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

You can try changing the value 20 with your own words count.

Cheers!
