Increase content character limit

    Sorry if there’s a really obvious answer to this, but I just can’t work it out!

    At present, the content for each post is limited to a certain amount of characters, which means there’s a ‘Read more’ link at the bottom of my process steps. I thought it maybe related to the standard WP blog settings for excerpts, but it’s not and it’s doing my head in! Haha.

    Is there an easy way to change this that I’m just missing?

    Cheers ??

    Hi,
    Yes, We have used standard www.ads-software.com the_excerpt() function.But we have applied excerpt_length filter hook.

    add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/excerpt_length

    In order to change content length you have to just modify one line of code.
    Please find and open process/includes/process_shortcode.php file and find pp_custom_excerpt_length function and change $ctl_content_length =50; according to your requirement.

    We will also remove this filter in next updates.

    Thanks,

    Yes, I’ll add my feedback shortly.

    One last question is how can I add paragraphs to the excerpt? I’ve tried multiple methods in the editor – adding paragraph tags, adding line breaks etc – but it always displays the text as one paragraph.

    Any idea why?

    Thanks

    I’ve just upgraded to Version 1.1, and the filter has not been removed as you said it would above. Am I going to have to amend the code each time this plugin is updated?
