Portfolio excerpt length

[ecogirl]

Hi,

some of the excerpts beneath my portfolio images are being cut off:

I would like to adjust them so that I can include the full excerpt beneath the image. Within the portfolio widget, I have changed the Excerpt Length to 150, but it still cuts off the last sentence of text for a couple of the posts.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

You would need to increase the excerpt length for the Portfolio element on your page, in order to show more text.

I already increased the excerpt length to 250, and it doesn’t make any difference – it still cuts off the last sentence. Please advise.

Ed, is there any possibility that the Excerpt length isn’t correctly being saved/used when using a child theme?

functions.php line 1201, try increasing that.

function new_excerpt_length($length) {
return 60;
}

If I change this line, will I need to change it each time Flexform is updated?

[Swift Ideas – Ed]

Instead, what you could do is create a child theme functions.php file, and add this code within it:

function remove_flex_function() {
    remove_action('excerpt_length','new_excerpt_length',1);
}
add_action('init','remove_flex_function');


function child_new_excerpt_length($length) {
    return 120;
}
add_action('excerpt_length','child_new_excerpt_length', 1);

Let me know if that works.
