Hi there,

I have a page with the Recent Posts widget in Page Builder. Instead of just showing the title of tghe post I would like to show a preview of the first couple of lines to give a snippet of the content. How do I achieve this?

Thanks

    Hi barryg80

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Within our Post Loop widget try the Grid layout option. When you open the Post Loop widget the first drop down is the widget’s template option. The Grid layout will grab the featured image, title and excerpt from each post. To add an excerpt to each post, edit the post, click Screen Options top right, ensure Excerpt is checked, the scroll down to below the Visual Editor and find the excerpt field.

    This option is the closest Vantage / Page Builder has to your request.

    All the best.
