    Hello there,

    I´m trying to dysplay the excerpt instead of the content on a category but the excerpt lenght is set to “35” (I need more) and when I try to declare it on my child theme does not work

    I find on the parent theme:

    // **********************************************************************// 
    // ! Set exerpt 
    // **********************************************************************//
    function etheme_excerpt_length( $length ) {
        return 35;
    }
    
    add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'etheme_excerpt_length', 999 );
    
    function etheme_excerpt_more( $more ) {
        return '...';
    }
    
    add_filter('excerpt_more', 'etheme_excerpt_more');

    How I should declare it on my child theme to make work it on my theme?.

    I was trying with:

    if ( ! function_exists( 'etheme_excerpt_length' ) ) {
        function etheme_excerpt_length() {
            return 350;
        }
    }

    Blessings.

    Hello Eva,

    It is possible that you send me code to add in functions.php to try first?, I´m working in localhost for now.

    Sure,

    First I make a copy of the content.php to my child theme and I replace “the_content” for “the_excerpt”

    So my question, is, what should I add into functions.php into my child to replace the function into of the parent theme.

    What page are you editing? Is it blog or some page created with Visual Composer editor? If it’s VC, then which element you’re using for your posts.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Eva,

    This is a category page. I select the category from the menu editor and I add it to the main menu, so is not Blog, it is using category.php to show up. So nothing to do with VC, the styles are different because I change it on my child.

    If is too much trouble, wait for me to have live and then I will send you the access so you can chech it directly.
