Remove View Post and number of lines displayed varies on home page

[kw99-93]

See image. I would like to remove the “View Post” on the roll overs for the Ethos theme and I’m also not sure why some posts that are displayed only show 2 lines of text while other up to 5. There is more content/text there but it just ends with three dots …

Thank you, much appreciated.

Hello Kurt,

Thanks for writing in!

To remove the “View Post”, we need to use custom css. Please add the following CSS code in the X > Theme Options > Global CSS (http://prntscr.com/evui3r)

a.entry-thumb:before,
a.entry-thumb .view {
    display: none;
}

The number of lines displayed in you excerpts were determine according to the number of words to display. You can adjust the number words for your excerpts in X > Theme Options > Blog > Content > Excerpt Length. To know more about Excerpts, please check this out: https://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt

Hope this helps.
