Is there a way to have a max number of characters in Mainpage Columns when Posts is selected (without using the read more tag). I would also like to exclude media from the front page.

My example is here where Youtube video is showing. http://extremephotography.com.au/

Hey,

Sure, open up /framework/classes/kclass_display_box.php and on lines 122 - 125 replace this:
```
the_content('');
echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'" class="more-link">Read more</a>';
```
with:

the_excerpt();

Next, add the exact text you want to display to the excerpt section of your post in WP admin :)

Can I expand on this request? Above the image, I wanted to post the category Name. I have added this code and it displays the title of the post correctly. What do i need to change so it shows the Name of the Category?

echo'<h2><a href="'.$page_link.'">'.get_the_title().'</a></h2>'."\n";

THANKS!

I have tried what James says above, but I still get the full article showing on the main page and result pages.
