I am outputting my group’s main topics post onto the front page of kleo through post grid. I am trying to limit the lengths of excerpts using the one’s I saw in the forum (your reply get excerpt function which I placed in the function.php but no change). In fact I can’t find a place to limit the length of excerpts. Neither can I find that in the post template php. I also found your other replies but it showed errors when I placed in my function php.
Maybe my particular case is different since I am outputting a Group topic post. How to do it.

Hello, added this
COPY CODEfunction custom_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 20; } add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );To functions.php 🙂 You can change it as you prefer ( 20 )

Hi,
Thanks a lot. Just one more favour, how to change the limits to number of character instead of words words.
Hello, try maybe this one
COPY CODEfunction get_excerpt(){ $excerpt = get_the_content(); $excerpt = preg_replace(" (\[.*?\])",'',$excerpt); $excerpt = strip_shortcodes($excerpt); $excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt); $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, 40); $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, strripos($excerpt, " ")); $excerpt = trim(preg_replace( '/\s+/', ' ', $excerpt)); return $excerpt; }Hi there!!!

I was hoping you can just give another codes that I can try.
I am searching this site. Maybe there are some clues somewhere but I could not see them.
Hello, try this maybe
COPY CODEfunction excerpt($limit) { $excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit); if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) { array_pop($excerpt); $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'.'; } else { $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt); } $excerpt = preg_replace('@\[[^\]]*\]@','',$excerpt); return $excerpt; }If it doesn’t work you will need to contact a developer 🙂

Hi,
Is this the preferred way to limit post excerpt lenght on post grid?COPY CODEfunction custom_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 20; } add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );Does it affect only post grid excerpt?
Thanks
