Blog Excerpt Length

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 56

I’ve fiddled with all the settings and set the Blog to an ‘excerpt length’ everywhere I can find it, but still I’m getting full length content on the Blog page:

Also, is there any way to use Tagdiv to customize the Blog page. I tried to do it but couldn’t actually edit the blog page using a Cloud Template…

Hello!

This page : https://3dprintingpricecheck.com/blog/ uses the default template, and you can not edit it with the TagDiv Composer.
Documentation here, please check: https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/

Thank you!

OK- I get that part. But there seems to be something preventing it from showing the Blog feed as excerpts and I’m wondering if it’s something to do with the theme or the Tagdiv editor somehow?

Hello!

Please provide more details, so I can understand what you are trying to say/explain.

A solution for sending a screenshot/video is this:
Download, capture, send: https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html
After making the screenshot, you will have a link, paste it here.

Thank you!

Hello!

I just share with you the documentation link above : https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
You can customize the excerpts in the theme panel : on words/letters: https://www.screencast.com/t/EROolW6hTSk0
If you edit a post and add a text as excerpt manually (in the excerpt box), the theme will show that text unmodified and uncut: https://www.screencast.com/t/FuTeApMmXgH0

Thank you!

I did the first suggestion- still showing full summary.

Is there anything in the source code that indicates why this issue is occurring:

?

Hello!

It was a misunderstanding, sorry. Please check the video where I showed you how you can get an excerpts there with some old modules: https://www.screencast.com/t/NKEQl9r7eD
Or you can remove the page from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/WG51cLGbpfvt and make it customizable with the tagdiv Composer. Then, you can use elements like Posts Loop, flex blocks, etc.

Thank you!

That’s the weird thing- I don’t have access to the Article Display View option:

This is for the 3d site.

Hello!

If your settings from the theme panel are missing and you use default templates, then please make sure you have Standard pack plugin installed and active.

Thank you!

OK…that worked. One last thing- is there a way to increase the number of items on the page to reduce pagination? Like to have 30 items per page instead of 10?
