Hello Support,
I’m trying to globally adjust the title length and text in post that’s displayed in modules/blocks and make it globally so there is not space between posts that have long titles.
Here is an example: https://www.screencast.com/t/R2Qk8Bfi9u
Notice how the long title puts a big space between the posts on the home page , I wan to set glbal wite rules where I can control by wither word count or letter count so when posts have long titles, they don’t create extra space between the posts.
I know that this question may have been asked before but I cannot find anything in the documentation that explains it in detail; perhaps you guys can point me in the direction on where I can find it in the documentation?
Thanks!
Hi,
That is perfectly possible. First you can choose an excerpt type (words or letters), then modify the modules needed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
There are options for titles length and excerpts length. The options in the theme panel are global, the composer also has settings for each module in a block (settings that will affect only that block)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/nvtIj4TG
So you can limit the title and excerpt lengths for the modules you want. That will make the modules even and provide a better general look.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
I’m just providing an update to this ticket.
I went ahead and made changes to title and excerpt length on module 19 and then global to test the difference, however, the change only get applied to the home page, they do not get applied to any of the other posts on the rest of the category pages.

Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!
Hi,
I will try to help you. How did you make the excerpt changes, by theme panel or in the composer?
– If in the composer they will affect that element only, for example a block where you set the custom length values. Those are the more specific settings
– If in the theme panel they should be general. Once a length is set for a module, everywhere it appears it should be the same.
Thanks
