Change excerpt length: Posted solutions not working

[meltdown]

Hello – I would like to increase the length of my excerpts. I tried adding the following to my kleo-child functions.php but it had no effect:

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 70;
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );

Any ideas? Thank you

Instead of 70 put 300 or a larger value

Tell me where you want to modify the excerpt (screenshot that points out)

Let me know

Hi Radu – I have increased the value to 300 but still no change.

There are 2 places that I would like the length of the snippet to be increased:

1: at this page (see attached image 1)

2: at the bottom of this page (see attached image 2)

Thanks

Hi Radu – Nope, the snippet is still much shorter than it should be (I’ve flushed the cache and checked again). Any thoughts?

Thanks again

Hi, I have the same problem. Changing the excerpt length. Have seen a few posts like that but no solution. Using this code:

<?php
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 20;
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );
?>
