 * Hi there,
 * Great plugin; I use it on multiple sites. One problem I’m having is that the “
   Continue Reading…” link (not adding a custom excerpt) for a Page is linking to
   the home page instead of the actual page it should be linking to. The title of
   the widget links properly.
 * Any insight here would be great.
 * Thanks,
    Jason

 * I have just found the same issue – the continue reading link goes to the home
   page and not the page where the excerpt is pulled in from….can anybody help with
   this?
 * Also – i cannot work out how to set the number of words displayed as the excerpt/
   the excerpt length – it seems to be 40 words as default. **linkhousemedia** –
   have you changed the excerpt length at all??
 * Many thanks!

 * [@lucyryder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucyryder/), I ended up using
   my functions.php file to remove the “Continue Reading” link from the widget (
   and consequently the rest of the site which in my case didn’t matter). The title
   of the widget links to the correct location.
 * From what I understand, the excerpt length just follows your wordpress settings,
   which you can change using your functions file like so:
 *     ```
       add_action('after_setup_theme', 'remove_theme_features', 11 );
       function remove_theme_features() {
          remove_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'twentyeleven_excerpt_length' );
       }
   
       function my_excerpt_length( $length ) {
          return 30; //this is where you put your new length
       }
       add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length' );
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps a little.

 * Hi Jason,
 * Thanks so much for taking the time in getting back to me!! One thing – if i set
   the excerpt length in my functions.php file, will that override any i have set
   in my page templates, which I currently have written in for a particular page…?
   
   Thanks again!!! Lucy

 * No problem Lucy.
 * Changing it the way I described will change it site-wide. If you want to change
   it for your posts and pages you could try something like this inside the function(
   described here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-excerpt-lengths-for-different-categories](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-excerpt-lengths-for-different-categories)):
 *     ```
       if ( is_category(1) ) {
       	return 10;
       }
       ```
   
 * `is_category()` might not be the right answer for you but that should get you
   on the right track.
 * Good luck!
