Grid Template: modifying text area beneath featured image blocks on front page

  • Using the Grid Template as home page. Can you limit the amount of text that appears below each of the featured image blocks in the grid area? Either limit the number of characters, or change the size of that text area. Or another trick? Thanks.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there, the child pages on a grid page in Edin will display excerpts of the child page content and then the Read More link as seen here: https://edindemo.wordpress.com/page-templates/grid-page/. I see you have hidden the more link. Did you get this resolved?

    Correct. I found the CSS code to remove the ‘read more’ links. What I’m trying to figure out is how to have it not show so much of the text from the child page. Can I change the size of that area beneath the feature image thumbnail? Or can I set the number of characters to a lower number?

    You can create custom excerpts for your child pages of any length you want. If the excerpt module does not appear down below the text area in the page editor, go to Screen options at the upper right and activate it.
