Hi, I’m building a custom theme for a poker community. After putting featured images as thumbnail. The archive post excerpt displays the full content of the post.. as you can see in home page: http://pokeritaliaclub.tk/ … Any solution for smaller excerpt?

Are you using the_content or the_excerpt to show the content? the_excerpt should give you exactly that an excerpt so if using you would need to make that smaller:

Specifically useful to you would be this:


function new_excerpt_length($length) {
return 20;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

Hi,
I’m using the_excerpt . It work’s if I post the article manually, but it don’t if I use an autopst plug.
