Vantage post excerpt length

Hi there,

Am trying to change the amount of content displayed per post when in a category view (the excerpt?), for instance:

http://www.rcvys.org.uk/wordpress/category/local-safeguarding-children-board-lscb/

Have tried various pieces of code from other forum posts in various places, including plugins, but to no avail.

Am I missing something, or is this a fairly difficult thing to achieve?

All the best

    Hi Isaac

    Vantage unfortunately doesn’t have an excerpt length option. You can however set Appearance > Theme Settings > Blog > Post Content to Full Content and then use the More tag:

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Andrew, thanks for getting back to me.

    Although that would achieve what I’m looking for, it may be a bit much for the client to keep up along with the rest of the site updates.

    Is there a way to just show the titles of the post, and no content, until the user clicks through to read the full article?

    All the best

    Sure. If Appearance > Theme Settings > Blog > Post Content: is set to Post Excerpt then an automatic excerpt will be taken, it should be quite short. Can you check this setting is set correctly.

    Perfect!

    Sorry, completely overlooked that section (tail between my legs) :$

    Thanks, once again!
