Show comment count, larger excerpt on blog feed?

My site:

news.cableturn.com

Any ideas regarding how to show the number of article comments on the blog feed and increase the excerpt size?

Also, are there any options for featured articles (similar to Twenty Fourteen).

Also, how well does it match my XenForo site:
www.cableturn.com.

Thanks – also for an excellent theme!

    Hi Dillion

    Glad to hear you’re liking Vantage.

    You’ll need to dive into a little development to handle this. Create a child theme for Vantage and copy content.php from your parent theme into your child theme. Within content.php try pasting the following after vantage_posted_on, so basically create a new line after that function call and insert:

    <span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'puro' ), __( '1 Comment', 'puro' ), __( '% Comments', 'puro' ) ); ?></span>

    Let me know how that goes.

    All of the Vantage blog related settings can be found at Appearance > Theme Settings > Blog. You can use the Blog page template to create a blog page or use the Post Loop (PB) widget via Page Builder on any page to insert a post loop. You can filter a post loop widget by adding

    cat=x

    where x is the category ID, that argument needs to be inserted into the argument field of the Post Loop widget. All that said, no Vantage unfortunately doesn’t have Twenty Fourteen style featured settings.

    Under Appearance > Customize you could setup nav and footer colors to match http://www.cableturn.com/.
