    Hi @zendyteam,

    The excerpt for your site can be edited within the site editor to have as many characters as you’d like. You’ll need to be editing the templates for your site under Appearance > Editor and then you can make changes to the excerpt block for the specific template.

    Excerpt Block

    hi @jordesign,

    Thk for reply. help a lot. I forgot to mention this dont work in a single post. In a single post I add the excerpt … but there is not extending the number of caractheres…

    What I try to do, is create excertp as intros, of article, and want to be in the part of article, after that the article himself… and i want that excerpt to be not on the homepage, but on the article himself. try to test and see if any good for SEO this strategy, and see how excerpt work, if is worth the effort to write individual or let wordpress take the frist words and do is own thing…

    Thx again for reply. Help a lot as well.

    Hi @zendyteam,

    So just to clarify – you’re trying to have an introductory section which is only in the single post – and not in the excerpt that is shown on the homepage and archive pages?

    One approach to this would be to write custom excerpts for each post – and that will be used instead of the character count.

    no problem is show into 1st page. as well. there i chanage to 100 .. i wanted higher like 250 – 300 .. and go down to 100.. for the homepage…

    but in the single post, dont change at all.

    I read that section already. I cant extend the number of words, characthers at all.. i try in functions as well. not manage. I want this modification to reflect in single post .. i write for each post custom excerpt (there are as a intro for the article).

    Apreciate any help. Thx for all in advance.

    Hi @zendyteam – thanks for the extra information. I may still be misunderstanding a little…

    Just to clarify – is the issue that you would like th excerpt to be able to set to more than 100 characters, but it keeps changing back to 100?

    Yes. That is correct. Is change back to 100. I gave up to this theme, and chose other free theme. Shame wordpress is not so flexible in some areas.
