On IdahoRadio.com I can’t figure out where/how to control the size of the excerpt. Is this a wordcount or char variable? A max-height setting? Please advise. I want display a longer excerpt.
I put this into functions.php but it change anything:
function custom_excerpt_length($length) {
return 100; // Replace 20 with your desired word count
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999);
add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, PHP_INT_MAX);
AI said this:
Some themes use custom functions for excerpts instead of the default WordPress get_the_excerpt() or the_excerpt() . If your theme uses its own excerpt function, the filter won’t apply. You may need to edit the theme’s specific files (e.g., content.php or template files).
