Can I Limit Excerpt Length?

  • Hi,

    First of all thanks for the great theme, I really appreciate the clean design.

    Is it possible to limit the excerpt length on the blog’s homepage? Currently it shows the entire post but I would like to shorten it to 50 words with a view more link or somehow just display a subtitle?

    Thanks!

  • In the blog post itself (where the font options are) there is an option to insert a line break. The button is between the linkbreak button and the expand window button. Hope that helps ??

    HappyZebra,

    Thanks but it doesn’t seem to work with this theme. I went to screen options and checked excerpt to show that option in the post editor and the added a brief summary. The full post is still showing up on the homepage.

    I think the problem is with the Landscape theme. On the index page it is set to show “content” not “excerpt.”

    HappyZebra,

    Oops I’m sorry, I didn’t read your post carefully. I found the little “Insert More Tag” icon and it works perfectly.

    Thank you!

    I’m glad it worked out!

    Also, if anyone else tries this solution and runs into the weird jump from the continue reading link to the middle of the blog post a fix can be found here:
