Hello,

I am using the focal theme and when I turn on the excerpts for the blog, it shows the entire article and looks like this:

Because I have almost 200 blogs, I can’t edit each excerpt. How can I force the maximum number of characters to be 150 - 200 characters at most (just two lines of text) from the article?

Thanks!

@apalacio - did you check this blog template, if it has any length parameter? or I can check it, if you can add me as collaborator

Hi @apalacio ,

I am Ani From https://www.task4store.com/ - Shopify Small & Custom Tasks Experts ( By MS Web Designer - Top Rated Shopify Certified Experts and eCommerce Consultant from Singapore )

I will love to help you with your concern.

It would be difficult to give you the exact solution without checking the backend code.

Can we get backend access to your store? if you want we can continue the conversation via DM or personal chat.

If you have any concerns feel free to ask me!

Regards,
Ani

find article-card.liqud and the following code {{ article.excerpt | strip_html | truncatewords: 30 }} and modify that 30 to 15 or something else you like.
