Excerpt, use with wp bootstrap starter

Hi etna32,

Thank you for using WP Bootstrap Starter, I saw your review and it makes me feel so happy and push me to work harder to improve this theme.

Regarding your question, please follow my instruction and please do it in your child theme

In your theme directory > Template Parts edit the file called content.php and replace this line https://www.screencast.com/t/FEJEf5E6yPKA to the_excerpt();

Then, In your functions.php
Add this line, you can change 55 with the length you need

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 55;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

For the custom Read More text you can use this code

function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    return '... <a href="'.get_the_permalink().'">Read More</a>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'custom_excerpt_more' );

You’re Welcome 🙂
