Cardinal blog mini excerpt length

[JeffDSmith]

Hi

How do we set the excerpt length in a blog mini view like this?
http://helmsbakerydistrict.com/blog/

We did not use page builder, we simple set Blog to show the posts in the General Reading Settings in WordPress.

We tried adding filters in functions.php to no avail.

Thank you

Hi,
Please open to edit archive.php file at /cardinal/swift-framework/layout/

Find this code:-
<?php echo sf_get_post_item($post->ID, $blog_type, "yes", "yes", "yes", "20", $content_output, $show_read_more); ?>

Change to:-

<?php echo sf_get_post_item($post->ID, $blog_type, "yes", "yes", "yes", "40", $content_output, $show_read_more); ?>

Thanks
Mohammad

Hey Swiftideas,

I am having the same problem but maybe in a slightly different way.
I am using the blog mini element here: http://idioplatform.com/in-the-know/
But instead of using posts, I’ve used the Post Type Override to display Portfolio.

I’ve made the change that written above but U see no change.
Is there anything I need to change in the PHP code? or what else can I do to increase the number of text displayed in this excerpt.
