Multiple excerpt lengths?

    Hello

    I have done as recommended and added this code to my functions.php:

    function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 50;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

    This works perfectly, but I would like to have a different excerpt length elsewhere on the site.

    Thanks – and great plugin. I like the minimal formatting – allowing me to style it how I like ??

    You can use conditional tags in that function. Ex:

    function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {

	if ( is_home() )
		$length = 50;
	else
		$length = 30;

	return $length;

}

    Hey Bill,

    Thank you for this plugin.

    Is there a way to control excerpt length individually inside each short code instead of using PHP and global settings?

    [display-posts excerpt-length=”130″]

    I dislike loading up my functions.php as no developer updates my functions.php the way they do their plugin updates.

    Thank you,

    Chris

    BTW I’d donate or pay for an advanced version of this plugin where all the stacks of functions listed in the pages on:

    …we’re options in the plugin settings.
