Hi @pleasehelpuk , Yes that’s possible.
Right click on the Post Grid Element and then, Edit Post Grid > Layout Settings and you will find Excerpt Words field in the bottom. Change with your desire value of how many words you want to display in the excerpt.
And then simply Update.

Done!
Let me know if you face any difficulties there. Cheers!
Thanks for the update but what I want it to do is take the excerpt from the first line of the first paragraph of the post, at the moment its using it from half way down the post, like the 3rd paragraph
Hi @pleasehelpuk , That’s really strange!
Generally in default WordPress, Post Excerpt start from the first line. So It may happen for your custom theme function.
I would suggest you to active the another theme for debug. Change the theme for a moment and then check page again.
Let me know how it goes. Cheers!

@pleasehelpuk,
We haven’t heard back from you in a long time. So, I am assuming your issue has been resolved. I am closing this ticket.
Have a nice day!
@rafinkhan @abidhasan112 I have the same problem. My excerpt looks like this:
“Home About US Product & Services Why Us Blog Contact US Real Estate “We are the go-to real estate agent in Nigeria because we offer…”
As you can see, it pulled my nav menu and I don’t want that! How can I fix this?
I finally found a way. I installed Code Snippets from WP plugin directory then added the following as a snippet:
add_post_type_support( ‘page’, ‘excerpt’ );
This enabled excerpts on any pages including in Elementor.
I got the code from https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/add-excerpts-to-your-pages-in-wordpress/
