Hi,

I’ve been trying different excerpt settings, (10-26 words) in customize and can’t seem to fix the misalignment of the “continue reading” compared to the other 3 items. It seems to only keep happening to the first item! You can see this on desktop size in the link below:

Any suggestions how to fix?

@hoiung: What you can do is Create a child theme. If you do not know how to create a child theme you can use Generate Child Theme Plugin. After creating a child theme Go to => Child Theme folder => functions.php and add the following Code.
add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );

After adding the code, Go to edit a page. At the top right corner you will see Screen Options, Click on it and check the Excerpt field. After checking the excerpt field you will see an excerpt box at the bottom of the page. Here you can manually add the excerpt text you want to show up. This way you can control the excerpt appearing on the featured content section.

Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha

@skandha: That’s a great feature! However… It only works when I activate the CHILD theme as the active theme which meant all my previous weeks of work one-page settings are now gone and would have to manually copy and paste and redo again. I can’t afford that time, unfortunately and have to revert back to the main theme without the child changes.

Any chance this can become a feature in the next version?

@hoiung: You can copy the same code to your main theme folder => functions.php. However make a note that all the changes you make to the core theme files will erase when you update the theme. That is why it is recommended to use Child Theme for necessary changes to theme files.

Let me know if this helps you out!

thanks, I’ve moved everything over to the child theme. all good now 🙂 thank you. Will bear that advise in future to always create child themes first before customising 🙂
