Text in hover/mouse-over box

Hello,

Yes, currently this change needs a coding – you can do it by defining the excerpt limit filter. In the functions.php file of the theme please put the following code:

function portfolio_new_excerpt_length($length) {
    return 300;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'portfolio_new_excerpt_length');

We will add an option to control excerpt length in the next version of the theme.

Some follow up questions:

Under the functions.php-area there is a drop down box where I have to select something – what should I select or should I just let it be?

Shall I just add the coding you gave or should I replace some already there coding with the new coding?
– if replace, what exactly should I cut out?
– If just add, where do I add it? just at the end or?

Please just add the code at the end.

And don’t use the dropdown under the file area.

Adding the code doesn’t seem to do the trick – it changes nothing?!

Did you tried to change the above code to return different values like 5, 50, 100?

Yup tried that and even tried creating a new post just to check if that was the problem – nothing changes.

What to try now? Any good ideas?

Please try to activate in the post editor under “Screen options” tab at the top, the excerpt metabox and please put there your text for the portfolio view.

It worked! Thank you so much ??

Could you rate and review our theme when you finish your work?
