[Graphene] Thumbnails

How can i fix a post Thumbnail at the Home page?

You can do this one of two ways:
1. You can simply insert an image anywhere above where you insert the “read more” link when creating your post.
2. You can set a featured image for that post.

How can i change the message so it will be shown also at the homepage with spacings?

For this, go to Appearance -> Graphene Options -> Display Tab -> Excerpts Display Options

Enter <br /> (and/or any other tags you want to include) into “Retain these html tags”.

Thanks a lot!! It worked!

Is there maybe an option that only shows 5 lines of text and than read more? The <!–more- -> tag only works with the slider. I disabled the slider. So when i use <!–more– > i don’t see anything to read the rest of the text.

A message automatically adds Read More. But i have some small text, so you will see the whole text at he homepage. I just want to display like 4 or 5 lines.

You’re welcome.

The theme (by default) shows 55 words in an excerpt. You can control this amount by using a custom function in your child theme.

function custom_excerpt_length($length) {
   return 40; // Change this to whatever you want.
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 20 );

This will adjust the number or words that shows up in the excerpts.

Thanks Josh, you pointed me in the right direction. In order to change the excerpt from 55 to 100 I found the code to put it in in the theme-loop.php file.

I found this line of code:

function graphene_set_excerpt_length( $length ){
if ( ! $length ) return;
global $graphene_settings;
$graphene_settings[‘excerpt_length’] = $length;
}

Then put this right after:

function custom_excerpt_length($length) {
return 100; // Change this to whatever you want.
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 20 );
