In this file you can paste the previously mentioned code at the bottom. You can use any program to do this from notepad to Coda or Dreamweaver or <a href="http://alternativeto.net/software/notepad/">many other alternatives</a> - as long as you overwrite the file again as .php </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/short-text-on-the-blog-page#post-36200 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:12:15 +0000 cedbabo 36200@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'm sorry Chris but i'm a newbie. Can you explain me how, where and with which software will i do that?<br /> Do i only have to paste this at the end? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/short-text-on-the-blog-page#post-35269 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 03:38:47 +0000 Chris Beard 35269@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>you can open up your functions.php file and add this to the bottom:<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;excerpt_length&#39;, &#39;my_excerpt_length&#39;); function my_excerpt_length($length) { return 20; }</code></pre> <p>You can change "20" to any value you'd like, this'll change the excerpt length.</p> <p>(A nice extra:)<br /> If you'd like to link the dots ( [...] ) you can also add this to the functions.php<br /> <pre><code>function new_excerpt_more($more) { global $post; return &#39; &lt;a href=&quot;&#39;. get_permalink($post-&gt;ID) . &#39;&quot;&gt;[...]&lt;/a&gt;&#39;; } add_filter(&#39;excerpt_more&#39;, &#39;new_excerpt_more&#39;);</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/short-text-on-the-blog-page#post-35235 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 10:19:16 +0000 cedbabo 35235@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi<br /> when i click on my blog menu, i only have 5 lines for the preview of my latest news : <a href="http://cedricbabouche.com/?page_id=13" rel="nofollow">http://cedricbabouche.com/?page_id=13</a><br /> Do you know to have twice the number of lines?</p> <p>thanks </p>
