Where to edit excerpt length and the “Read More” text on button after excerpt?

[jrozsa]

This seems like something that would have been added by now, but I do not see it.  It isn’t still a manual code change, is it?

Hi,

1.
The limit can be changed by addind the next codes to /wp-content/themes/kleo-child/functions.php

Replace 350 with your desired number or characters

Code below:

COPY CODE

if ( ! function_exists( 'kleo_excerpt' ) ) {
    function kleo_excerpt( $limit = 50, $words = false ) {
        /*Force excerpt length*/
        $limit = 350;
        $from_content    = false;
        $excerpt_initial = get_the_excerpt();

        if ( $excerpt_initial == '' ) {
            $excerpt_initial = get_the_content();
            $from_content    = true;
        }
        $excerpt_initial = preg_replace( '<code>\[[^\]]*\]</code>', '', $excerpt_initial );
        $excerpt_initial = strip_tags( $excerpt_initial );

        /* If we got it from get_the_content -> apply length restriction */
        if ( $from_content ) {
            $excerpt_length  = apply_filters( 'excerpt_length', $limit );
            $excerpt_initial = wp_trim_words( $excerpt_initial, $excerpt_length, '' );
        }

        if ( $words ) {
            $excerpt = explode( ' ', $excerpt_initial, $limit );
            if ( count( $excerpt ) >= $limit ) {
                array_pop( $excerpt );
                $excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '...';
            } else {
                $excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '';
            }
        } else {
            $excerpt = substr( $excerpt_initial, 0, $limit ) . ( strlen( $excerpt_initial ) > $limit ? '...' : '' );
        }

        return '<p>' . $excerpt . '</p>';
    }
}

function kleo_new_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    return 350;
}

Child theme needs to be installed and activated.
