Hi, @Yukari

Well, this feature is available in our premium version of the theme.

Please feel free to implement in any theme but we suggest to make a child theme and do it.
Follow this article :- https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/excerpt_length

Thanks!

Thank you!
I changed the below file
==>>(layouts/blog/blog-layout-1.php)

<?php
$content = wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), 18, ‘…’ );
echo ‘<p>’.wp_kses_post( $content ).'</p>’;
?>

I could change the number of characters for 90 caracters.

Hi, @Yukari

Nice know that you figured out the solution.

Note:- By changing the theme files directly without making a child theme, it coz the problem while updating the theme in features.

Thanks!
