Increase the number of words displayed on homepage post preview

Hi,

By default, excerpt length is set to 55 words. To change excerpt length using “excerpt_length” filter, add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file :

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 20;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 100 );

In this example, the value “100” will display excerpts limited by 100 words.

Hey @joshgarrod. You may want to create a child theme and place the code provided by @riversatile in the functions.php file for that child theme. If you add it to the current functions.php file, you will lose that info if a theme update comes out and you update it.

Here is some info on how to do this:
