Hello,

I have just updated the theme to 8.4.0 and the same thing has started to happened again on the website where you guys made changes.

I have kept the excerpt length of the post to 20 for category pages but once I scroll down and click on "Load More Post", the posts that are loaded afterward have a very big excerpt length.

How can I control this and set the excerpt length to a default value of 20 for all category pages?

I also have attached the video of the same.

Please help me fix this once and for all.

Hello,

I tried replacing the code with the one that you provided, but it did not work. Please guide me through the process so that I could fix the same issues on my other websites as well.

Hi,

Please go to Appearance → Customize → Posts Layouts: you can change the excerpt length at the "Standard and Classic" and "Other Layouts" sections.

Thank you so much for the help!

I also need to know that if in any case, I have to increase or decrease the word count or length of the excerpt then how do I do that?

Hi,

Please open the file I sent, find:

<?php if( ! get_theme_mod( 'penci_excerptcharac' ) ){
    the_excerpt();
} else {
    $excerpt_length = get_theme_mod( 'penci_post_excerpt_length', 30 );
    penci_the_excerpt( $excerpt_length );
}
?>

Replace with:

<?php
$excerpt_length = get_theme_mod( 'penci_post_excerpt_length', 30 );
penci_the_excerpt( $excerpt_length );
?>

Regards,
PenciDesign.

Hello,

I have kept the excerpt length to 20 for category pages but once I scroll down and click on "Load More Post", the posts that are loaded afterward have a very big excerpt length.

How can I control this and set the excerpt length to a default value of 20 for all post category format?

I have attached a video and screenshots for your reference.

Please help!
