    To be precise, the Grid layout is showing a little of the post content, not the excerpt. When I switch to Icon Circles, it will show the excerpts with More Info button.

    Hi Ntintel

    Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look? You can create the account with the following email address:

    [email protected]

    Just navigate to Users > Add New in your WordPress admin. Enter siteorigin for the username and [email protected] for the email address. Make sure you’ve selected Administrator for the role and enabled the “Send Password” field so we receive the details.

    Once we’re finished taking a look, you can delete this account. We’ll let you know when to do that.

    Hi Andrew,

    Done. Please check your email.

    Thank you.

    By the way, I adjusted the Paragraph font size so the post text become bigger and easier for the reader. You will see the excerpts look abnormally large and still not showing excerpt content.

    I wonder if there a way to change the excerpt style to type Heading 4, 5, or 6.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks. Excerpts are working ok by the looks of it. The second post on your home page as the manual excerpt as follows:

    Thay vì con bị nói là nghịch dại, nói dối, phá hoại… con cảm thấy được hiểu và yêu thương. Và cũng quan trọng lắm là con chịu trách nhiệm về việc mình làm, hoàn toàn tự nhiên và logic.

    I just had to click Screen Options and check Excerpt to see it in the admin.

    To help the excerpt fit on the front end I suggest adding the following to Custom CSS:

    /* Grid Blog Layout */

.vantage-grid-loop article .excerpt {
  height: auto;
}
.vantage-grid-loop article .excerpt p {
  font-size: 12px;
}

    I added the Custom CSS to Home Page -> Post Loop -> Widget Styles -> CSS Styles, but still doesn’t make any change. Am I missing anything?

    Thanks Andrew.

    Hi, I Work Here

    The Custom CSS should be added to Appearance > Custom CSS. Thanks.

    Ahhh, I added the styles to Theme -> Custom CSS, and it worked.

    Thanks a lot Andrew!!
