Override Excerpt Length

    I see in the inc/extras.php file where the limit for the length of the excerpt is set, I was wondering how I could override this setting without editing the parent files?

    So far I’m having no luck.

    TIA – Don

  • Place the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

    <?php
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'modify_excerpt_length', 999 );

function modify_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 100;
}

    Change the value (100) as per your preference.

    Excellent – thank you, works fine.

    I thought I had tried that but I must have missed something.

    Thank you very much for your help.
