    Hello,

    i was wondering if it is possible to excerpt by Characters, especially on the homepage with the magazine layout, i want all my intro posts to have the same amount of characters. (and maybe do end with a full word)

    thanks in advance.

    Cheers, Luuk

    Also, i would like to know if there is a way to have all posts i place in the feature to use the read more from the presentation settings, if you look at my current homepage, it has the 3rd post using its own read more button, while there is no page break in the post it self.

    If I’m understanding your first question right, you should be able to find what you’re looking for under Parabola Settings > Post Excerpt Settings. (If not, then sorry, I’m not sure!)

    The reason the third post has the Read More button is because you must have added the READ MORE code to the post itself–that’s not a page break. Edit the Super Nash Bros EP 1: The Cast, The Games, And The Milk post and, if you’re under the Text editor, you should see something that says:

    <!--more-->

    And if you’re using the Visual Editor, it’ll show a line of dashes with “MORE” written in the middle. (Or something similar.) That is, I believe, what’s causing the button to show up.

    Hope this helps!

    Yes i had found that option but it is for number of words, i was looking for number of characters since if you have a post with a lot of long words it will show up longer than the other 2 posts in the featured snipet. but i’ll figure it out with writing intro’s.

    As for the other problem, its no longer there but still showing the read more, it could have something to do with the fact the post has been imported from another site. i think it will sort itself out once i finish the layout and move to the live site!
