    Where can I change the number of lines that display on the blog posts before the default ‘read more’? Right now only 2 lines are showing per post and I would like this increased.

    @Glen: It’s there in Theme Instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/ .
    How to Change the Excerpt Length and More Tag Text?
    1. Go to Theme Options under Appearance in your WordPress Dashboard
    2. Go to Excerpt / More Tag Settings
    3. Type in the Excerpt Length as in, the number of words, and More Tag Text
    4. Save your changes

    Thank you Sakin.

    One further question on this. The display for the blog by default contains no paragraph divisions, but instead all the text is in one block. Is there a way to have it show the paragraphs?

    @Glen: Excerpt doesn’t show it in paragraphs. It will show is simple one block. There is one trick to do that. First, you need to change your Content Layout to “Full Content Display” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options => Content Layout” in your WordPress Dashboard. This will show full content. So, what ever you have in your post will show it exactly same. All your images and content. Then you can use more tag <!--more--> to break the content.

    Thanks for the wonderful help posts here! This solved one of my problems as well.

    But, when I set the content layout to “Full Content Display”, it no longer shows my featured image in the post. Is there a way to fix that?

    @churchtidbits: Yes, Full Content Display will not display the featured image as this option in meant to display whatever you have added in post before more tag. So, you can add image in your post at the beginning of the content.
