# Excerpt default length

 * When using the miniloop shortcode there is unfortunately no option for a default
   excerpt length, and it instead is hard-coded in the plugin as 100 characters.
 * To change this, I went to /mini-loops/helpers.php
 * Line: 312
    ‘length’ => 100,
 * Then changed 100 to a much higher value. Hopefully in a future version of this
   plugin we will be able to change that value in the shortcode!
