This is another post about theme Spacious.

Spacious shortens all posts on front page(excerpt), this makes the front page tidy however I want to control how much to show instead of the default(55 words). Thought there would be an option somewhere however it appears there is no such parameter available.

Googled but there is not much information, finally found the answer on WordPress website

Control Excerpt Length using Filters

By default, excerpt length is set to 55 words. To change excerpt length to 20 words using excerpt_length filter, add the following code to functions.php file in your theme:

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 100;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

Here you go – go to wp-content/themes/spacious, locate the functions.php and add the above lines, refresh the page and job done(100 words instead of the default 55)!

    This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to
    another platform. I have heard good things about

    posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
