  HI,

  How do I extend the excerpt text area for a blog from 2 rows to 8 rows for the blog page ?

  The excerpt area for a blog only displays a 2 row preview. I would like to make this bigger for about 7-8 rows.

  thanks,

  Dean

  It seems if you set Blog page to the one you wish to use, the theme loses it’s title.

  In the customise section of wordpress once you set a page for the blog it removes the blog page title and you cannot edit the settings of the blog e.g. shorten excerpt, set posts to more etc.

  Hi,
  Please find this code at functions.php-:

  function new_excerpt_length($length) {
  	    return 60; //you can change the length of excerpt 60 to 100 or any as you want.
  }

  Thanks

  thanks… also your standard blog page by default removes the page heading title. If i select my blog page in appearance > customise it then loses it’s page heading.

  Hi,
  I have resolved the issue so please check.
  Code Remarks-: I edited functions.js at /neighborhood/js/

  Find this code at line 623:-
  var carouselWrap = carousel.parent().parent(),
  Replace with :-
  var carouselWrap = jQuery(this).parent().parent(),

  I will inform to developer to add in next upgrade.

  Thanks 🙂
  With Best Regards

  Hi Mohammed, for some reason your changes have affected my translator plugin. Can you tell me if you installed anything or is the above you only changed ?

  It’s important as I have translation plugin applied to my site and now I cannot modify plugin the options and have error occured in red appearing on my site in the top right of my screen.
  Only on this plugin.
  Thanks
