    Hello, 

    I have kept the excerpt length to 20 for category pages but once I scroll down and click on "Load More Post", the posts that are loaded afterward have a very big excerpt length. 

    How can I control this and set the excerpt length to a default value of 20 for all post category format?

    I have attached a video and screenshots for your reference.

    Please help!

    Hi,

    I've fixed this issue by updating the content on the following file:

    wp-content/themes/soledad/content-list.php

    Hi,

    Please open the file I sent, find:

    <?php if( ! get_theme_mod( 'penci_excerptcharac' ) ){
        the_excerpt();
    } else {
        $excerpt_length = get_theme_mod( 'penci_post_excerpt_length', 30 );
        penci_the_excerpt( $excerpt_length );
    }
    ?>

    Replace with:

    <?php
$excerpt_length = get_theme_mod( 'penci_post_excerpt_length', 30 );
    penci_the_excerpt( $excerpt_length );
    ?>


    Regards,
    PenciDesign.

    Thank you so much for the help!

    I also need to know that if in any case, I have to increase or decrease the word count or length of the excerpt then how do I do that?

    Hi,

    Please go to Appearance → Customize → Posts Layouts: you can change the excerpt length at the "Standard and Classic" and "Other Layouts" sections.

    Regards,
    PenciDesign.

    I tried replacing the code with the one that you provided, but it did not work. Please guide me through the process so that I could fix the same issues on my other websites as well.

    Hello, 

    I have just updated the theme to 8.4.0 and the same thing has started to happened again on the website where you guys made changes. 

    I have kept the excerpt length of the post to 20 for category pages but once I scroll down and click on "Load More Post", the posts that are loaded afterward have a very big excerpt length. 

    How can I control this and set the excerpt length to a default value of 20 for all category pages?

    You may check on https://inlinedfitness.com/category/food/ ,  https://inlinedfitness.com/category/technology/travel/

    I also have attached the video of the same. 

    Please help me fix this once and for all.
