@KetanKumar Were you able to provide a solution to this?  We are trying to similarly just have the the first paragraph of each blog display as an excerpt.  The link our planning blog is that the bottom of this preview url. https://aplk8cms00wkzbxc-29757054.shopifypreview.com

@KetanKumar Sorry.  Here is an image.  It basically displays the contents of each of the blogs 3 at a time.  We would rather just have a short excerpt so more more blogs could display with less scrolling.  We just would like that first paragraphh or so to display.  There must be some way to code that to truncate with less characters displayed.Screen Shot 2022-03-14 at 1.56.49 PM.png

@KetanKumar The link to the planning blog should be at the footer.  Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 8.02.10 AM.pngThis is an unpublished theme we are working on to replace our current theme.  You should be able to view the blog I have referenced with this preview link https://no6tig45k84dssvs-29757054.shopifypreview.com

We actually found it was quite easy for us.  All we had to do is make sure we typed whatever excerpt we wanted within the blog in the backend of Shopify.  There is a spot for Excerpt.  You could type a couple words or whatever amount of text you want and that is what will display instead of displaying the entire contents of the blog.  Just have to add that step each time we publish a blog.

I am looking for a similar solution and do not see a solution here.

I've tried other css code recommended but it does not work for me.
When I add a small excerpt it appears.  When I delete it and have no text, a large excerpt is added by default.

Perhaps more important, I want to hide the tags.

Any suggestions?

On your preview I'm not seeing tags so I'm assuming you were able to remove those.  If you want to remove the excerpt and not display one you'll most likely need to make some code edits to your featured-blog section liquid file.  In that file you should see a code similar to this that is displaying the excerpt.  You could simply comment this out to hide it in case you want to show it again sometime in the future.

 

Example:

 

Current:

 

<div class="rte">

              {{ article.excerpt_or_content }}

            </div>

 

New:

 

{% comment %}

            <div class="rte">

              {{ article.excerpt_or_content }}

            </div>

{% endcomment %}   

 

Displaying the number of comments will be similar with the need to add code in the featured-blog section liquid file that references the number of comments a post has received.
