If you keep a copy of the theme before an update you can always add your changes back in as well. Its a little less work than going through and creating a child theme but does take forethought when updating.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/edit-excerpt-length-on-latest-news-widget#post-59802 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:00:20 +0000 wvanderzee 59802@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Do I have to add it to the functions.php of the theme itself, or create a theme-child. I assume the last option is best for updating the theme without loosing custom functions. Am I right about that? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/edit-excerpt-length-on-latest-news-widget#post-57325 Thu, 24 May 2012 05:44:43 +0000 Dude 57325@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> You can use following filter/code: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt#Control_Excerpt_Length_using_Filters" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt#Control_Excerpt_Length_using_Filters</a> to change the excerpt length.
