Dynamic content maximum text length

[Johanschack]

Hi!

I’m trying to create a layout for the archive pages of a custom post type. Two things i’m having a bit of trouble with:

Assigning layout to archives of a specific post type
As the title indicates, i don’t know how to assign the layout to the archive pages of a post type. I have a temporary work-around by assigning it to all archive pages that are not The Blog page, but i don’t think it’s sustainable. Is there a way to assign the them correctly?

Limit on characters/words of a dynamic text element
I’ve added a text element that pulls data from a custom ACF field. So far so good. However, i would like to limit the length of the text, so long texts don’t extend too far. Similar to how The Excerpt works.

Thanks in advance!

My looper provider seems to get posts from all categories of the post type, and not only of the current archive category, how do i make sure it only shows posts in the current category?

Hi @Johanschack,

Thanks for reaching out.
Please find the answer to your queries below.

1. To assign the Archive layout to a specific post type, you need to add the condition as explained in the below screenshot.

2. Regretfully, there is no such option to limit the text length in the elements.

Thanks
